Which side of the plane to sit from Haikou Meilan International Airport (Haikou) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Qiongzhou Strait during departure and the vast Poyang Lake and Nanchang city skyline during the descent.
Haikou Century Bridge
Spot the landmark cable-stayed bridge and the expansive Haikou Bay during the initial climb.
Leizhou Peninsula Coast
The eastern coastline of the Leizhou Peninsula is visible as the flight crosses into Guangdong province.
Wujiashan Scenic Area
Views of the lush, mountainous landscapes and hidden reservoirs in southern Jiangxi province.
Nanchang Skyline
A great view of the high-rises along the Gan River and the historic Tengwang Pavilion area during approach.
Poyang Lake
The southeastern shores of China's largest freshwater lake often become visible during the descent into Changbei.
Book an afternoon flight for the best lighting over Poyang Lake. During the summer monsoon season, the lake expands significantly, creating a stunning emerald landscape. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the Nanchang city view.
Haikou Urban View
Bird's-eye view of Haikou city, the Meilan district, and the bustling port areas shortly after takeoff.
Qiongzhou Strait
View of the western side of the narrow channel separating Hainan Island from the Chinese mainland.
Nanling Mountains
Fly over the rugged peaks and dense forests of the Nanling range at the border of Guangdong and Jiangxi.
Gan River Valley
Follow the winding path of the Gan River as it snakes through the red-soil basins of central Jiangxi.
Opt for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, providing clear views of the mountainous terrain without cockpit glare. Watch for the dramatic change in vegetation as you move from the tropical flora of Hainan to the temperate forests of the mainland.
