HGH → KOW
Which side of the plane to sit from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou) to Ganzhou Airport (Ganzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Qiantang River curves upon departure and the undulating silhouettes of the Wuyi mountain foothills throughout the flight.
Qiantang River Basin
Visible shortly after takeoff from HGH, offering a look at the massive river curves famous for their tidal bores.
Wuyi Mountain Foothills
Rolling green ridges and mist-shrouded peaks that form the natural border between Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces.
Fuzhou Urban Center
A clear aerial view of Jiangxi's Fuzhou city, showcasing the contrast between dense urban planning and surrounding agricultural lands.
Regional Tea Gardens
Vast patches of terraced tea plantations that create a unique geometric texture on the hillsides below.
Red Soil Formations
Distinctive rust-colored earth patterns typical of the Gan River basin, creating a vibrant color palette against the green forest.
Select an 'A' seat for morning departures to witness the sunrise over the mountains, though you may need a window shade for the direct glare. During spring, this side is excellent for spotting mountain mist and low-hanging clouds over the valleys.
Fuchun River Valley
The scenic waterway that inspired centuries of Chinese ink wash paintings, visible during the initial climb.
Longhu Mountain Vista
Distant views of the iconic Danxia landforms and Taoist peaks located near the Yingtan region.
Gan River Meanders
The primary north-south river artery of Jiangxi province, appearing as a shimmering silver ribbon.
Ji'an Cityscape
Observation of the urban sprawl along the Gan River banks as the flight moves into southern Jiangxi.
Ganzhou River Confluence
The point where the Zhang and Gong rivers merge to form the Gan River, visible just before touchdown.
Choose an 'F' or 'K' seat for late afternoon flights to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Gan River. As the flight approaches Ganzhou, the right side often provides better views of the city's unique 'three-river' geography during the landing pattern.
