Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Hong Kong skyline upon departure and the expansive beauty of Poyang Lake and the Gan River when approaching Nanchang.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Hong Kong Skyline

Aerial perspective of Victoria Harbour, Kowloon, and the dense skyscrapers of the island.

🏢

Shenzhen CBD

The massive urban density of Shenzhen, featuring the towering Ping An Finance Centre.

🌲

Wanlv Lake

Also known as Xinfengjiang Reservoir, a massive, deep-green body of water in Heyuan.

💧

Poyang Lake

China's largest freshwater lake, visible as a vast wetland or water expanse depending on the season.

🏯

Nanchang Cityscape

The modern skyline of Nanchang and the historic Pavilion of Prince Teng as you descend.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Look out for Poyang Lake about 20 minutes before landing; its size changes drastically between dry and wet seasons, offering a unique geographic spectacle every time.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Pearl River Delta

A vast network of waterways and bridges connecting the industrial hubs of the GBA.

🏔️

Nanling Mountains

Scenic views of the rugged mountain range that forms the natural border between Guangdong and Jiangxi.

🛶

Gan River Meanders

Watch the upper reaches of the Gan River winding through the rural valleys of southern Jiangxi.

Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. This side provides a clearer view of the mountainous transition between provinces and the rural landscapes of Jiangxi, which are particularly beautiful during the spring blossom season.
