The left side offers a more dramatic view of China's diverse topography, including the jagged peaks of the Wuyi Mountains, the expansive Poyang Lake basin, and the striking transition from the central plains into the Loess Plateau.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

Aerial views of the UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic granite peaks and lush forest cover shortly after takeoff.

💧

Poyang Lake

Glimpses of China's largest freshwater lake and its intricate network of wetlands in Jiangxi Province.

🌊

Yangtze River

A major crossing over the middle reaches of Asia's longest river, often visible near the Anhui/Hubei border.

🟨

Yellow River

The iconic silty waters of the 'Mother River' winding through the North China Plain as you approach the Shanxi border.

🏔️

Southern Taihang Range

The rugged western escarpment of the Taihang Mountains, featuring deep canyons and steep rocky ridges during descent.

For evening flights, the left side provides stunning sunset views over the mountains. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after departure for the Wuyi Mountains. As you enter Shanxi, watch for the unique 'terraced' appearance of the Loess Plateau which is most prominent on this side.

🏙️

Fuzhou Coastline

🌳

Dabie Mountains

Rolling green hills and high-altitude reservoirs located at the junction of Anhui, Hubei, and Henan.

🏗️

Taiyuan Urban Basin

A clear view of the industrial and urban landscape of the Fen River valley as the plane aligns for landing.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers a better perspective of the vast agricultural heartland of China. During landing at Taiyuan Wusu, you can often see the Fen River winding through the city's high-rise architecture.
