Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Qiongzhou Strait upon departure and a spectacular approach into Huangshan featuring the emerald waters of Qiandao Lake and the iconic granite peaks of the Yellow Mountain range.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛴️

Qiongzhou Strait

The busy shipping lanes and turquoise waters separating Hainan Island from mainland China.

🏙️

Pearl River Delta

Distant but vast views of the industrial heartland and dense urban clusters of the Guangzhou region.

🏙️

Nanchang Skyline

A clear view of the capital of Jiangxi province and its skyscrapers reflecting off the water.

💧

Qiandao Lake

Also known as Thousand Island Lake, this massive reservoir with countless green islands is visible shortly before landing.

🏔️

Huangshan Peaks

Breathtaking views of the granite spires and ancient pines that make the Yellow Mountain a UNESCO site.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Specifically, look out the window approximately 20 minutes before landing to see the stunning Qiandao Lake. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side, as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Haikou Bay

Aerial view of Haikou's northern coastline and the modern urban architecture along the waterfront.

🌴

Leizhou Peninsula

The western coastline of the mainland's southernmost tip as the flight enters Guangdong province.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

Rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges that form the natural border between Guangdong and Jiangxi.

🛶

Gan River Meanders

The winding path of Jiangxi's primary river cutting through deep green valleys.

For the best experience on the left, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Jiangxi highlands. Keep an eye out for the western edges of the Huangshan range during the final banking maneuvers into Tunxi Airport.
