Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to some of China's most iconic natural landscapes, including the dramatic peaks of Huangshan and the sparkling waters of Thousand Island Lake.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Qiantang River

Immediately after takeoff, witness the wide, winding curves of the river famous for its tidal bore.

🏞️

Qiandao Lake

See the 'Thousand Island Lake' with its emerald-green waters and countless small, forested islands.

⛰️

Huangshan Range

Glimpse the granite peaks and jagged ridgelines of the Yellow Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

🏙️

Jingdezhen Region

Fly over the rolling hills surrounding the world-famous porcelain capital of China.

🌄

Lushan National Park

As you approach Hubei, the northern edges of the Lushan mountain range may be visible in the distance.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the mountains without direct sun glare. The transition from the flat plains of Zhejiang to the rugged mountains of Anhui occurs about 20 minutes after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🏙️

Hangzhou Cityscape

A panoramic view of the sprawling Hangzhou metropolis and the distant West Lake during initial ascent.

💧

Lake Tai

On clear days, the vast expanse of Lake Tai, one of China's largest freshwater lakes, is visible to the north.

🏔️

Dabie Mountains

Observe the dense forests and steep valleys of the Dabie mountain range on the northern horizon.

🚢

Yangtze River

Follow the mighty Yangtze as it meanders through the plains toward the Wuhan tri-city area.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the descent into Wuhan Tianhe, this side often provides a clearer view of the East Lake and the urban density of the Wuchang district.
