Which side of the plane to sit from Taiping Airport (Harbin) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the varying topography of inland China, including the transition from the fertile Northeast Plain to the rugged Dabie Mountains, culminating in a spectacular view of Poyang Lake before landing.
Northeast China Plain
Stunning geometric patterns of China's most important agricultural heartland.
Beijing-Tianjin Corridor
Distant views of the sprawling urban megalopolises and the high-speed rail networks.
Dabie Mountains
Lush, forested mountain ridges and deep valley reservoirs visible during the cruise phase.
Poyang Lake
An incredible view of China's largest freshwater lake, showing dramatic seasonal water level changes.
Gan River Delta
The final approach provides a clear look at the river veins feeding into Nanchang's urban center.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun set over the Dabie Mountains. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best shots of Poyang Lake's vast expanse.
Songhua River
Aerial view of the winding river system surrounding Harbin shortly after takeoff.
Bohai Gulf Coast
Views of the coastline near Qinhuangdao and the industrial ports of the Bohai Sea.
Yellow River Delta
Observation of the unique sediment patterns and wetlands where the Yellow River meets the sea.
Yangtze River Bridge
A high-altitude crossing of China's longest river as the flight enters Central China.
Lushan Mountain
The UNESCO-listed misty peaks are often visible to the east during the final descent into Nanchang.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun, and look for the intricate irrigation networks of the North China Plain during the mid-flight segment.
