Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Yangtze River crossing, the expansive Poyang Lake, and a stunning perspective of the dense Shenzhen skyline during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Yangtze River Crossing

A grand view of China's longest river as the flight leaves the Jiangsu plains and heads south.

💧

Poyang Lake

China's largest freshwater lake, featuring intricate wetland patterns and seasonal water level changes.

⛰️

Gannan Highlands

Lush green mountain ranges and winding valleys characterizing southern Jiangxi province.

🏙️

Shenzhen Cityscape

Panoramic views of the Ping An Finance Center and the Futian District skyscrapers during descent.

🏗️

Yantian Port Area

One of the world's busiest container terminals visible if the approach loops over the eastern coastline.

Book an 'A' window seat for the best panoramic views. For the most spectacular visual experience, choose an afternoon flight to catch the sun reflecting off Poyang Lake and the golden hour glow over the Shenzhen skyline. Ensure you are seated well ahead or behind the wing to keep the ground landmarks visible.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Nanjing Outskirts

Aerial perspective of the industrial and urban expansion around the historic city of Nanjing.

⛰️

Lushan National Park

The famous mist-covered peaks of Lushan visible to the west while cruising over Jiangxi.

🛤️

HSR Network

The complex grid of high-speed rail lines snaking through the hills and plains of central China.

🛶

Pearl River Estuary

The vast, busy waterway where the Pearl River meets the South China Sea during final approach.

🚢

Estuary Shipping

Scores of cargo ships and ferries navigating the approach channels to Bao'an and Nanshan.

Select an 'F' window seat. This side is excellent for viewing the rugged Lushan mountains on clear days. During the final approach into SZX, the right side often offers a better look at the massive engineering of the Pearl River bridges and the bustling maritime activity of the estuary.
