Which side of the plane to sit from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou) to Nanyang Jiangying Airport (Nanyang)?

Qiantang River Bend
Immediately after takeoff, view the massive meanders of the Qiantang River and the sprawling southern districts of Hangzhou.
Dabie Mountains
A significant mountain range in central China, showcasing rugged peaks and dense forest cover as you cross the border of Anhui and Hubei.
Danjiangkou Reservoir
A massive turquoise body of water that serves as a key source for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, visible as you descend.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the mountains. Look out for the distinct change from the watery landscape of Zhejiang to the higher elevations of the Dabie range mid-flight. During autumn, the reservoir colors are particularly vibrant.

Hangzhou Cityscape
A sweeping view of the high-rise architecture and urban development of Hangzhou's northern suburbs during the initial climb.
Yangtze River Crossing
A bird's-eye view of the mighty Yangtze River near Wuhu, often dotted with heavy commercial barge traffic and large suspension bridges.
Central Henan Plains
The landscape transitions into the vast, organized agricultural grids of the Henan province, known as the 'breadbasket' of China.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy softer light over the Yangtze River. Watch for the 'Checkerboard' effect of the Henan fields during the harvest seasons in late spring and early autumn. Keep an eye out for the Funiu Mountains to the northwest as you near Nanyang.
