Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an unparalleled view of China's most legendary landscape features, including the iconic West Lake immediately after takeoff and the majestic peaks of Huangshan and Lushan mountains during the cruise phase.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏞️

West Lake

The UNESCO World Heritage site is often visible shortly after departure from HGH depending on the departure runway.

⛰️

Mount Huangshan

The legendary Yellow Mountain, known for its jagged granite peaks and ancient pine trees, is visible about 20 minutes into the flight.

🏔️

Mount Lushan

A majestic mountain range known for its mist and historical importance, located near the intersection of the Yangtze River.

💧

Poyang Lake

China's largest freshwater lake, providing a vast expanse of water and seasonal wetlands that shift with the seasons.

⛰️

Mufu Mountains

Rugged mountain ridges that form the natural border between Jiangxi and Hunan provinces.

For the best view of Huangshan, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed sightline. Late afternoon flights provide the most dramatic lighting for the mountain ranges, with shadows emphasizing the deep valleys and ridges.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Qiantang River

The massive river famous for its tidal bore, seen snaking through the urban sprawl of Hangzhou.

🏝️

Qiandao Lake

Also known as Thousand Island Lake, this reservoir features thousands of tiny green islands scattered across turquoise water.

🏙️

Nanchang Skyline

Views of the Gan River and the high-density urban development of Jiangxi's capital city mid-flight.

🌾

Hunan Basin

The final descent offers views of the fertile agricultural plains and rice paddies characteristic of the region.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the spring months of March and April, look for the vibrant yellow patches of blooming rapeseed flowers across the countryside.
