Which side of the plane to sit from Huangyan Luqiao Airport (Huangyan) to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for witnessing the winding path of the Yangtze River and the dramatic transition from coastal plains to the rugged Three Gorges region and the dense urban landscape of Chongqing.
East China Sea Coast
Panoramic views of the coastline and Luqiao District shortly after takeoff.
Poyang Lake
Views of China's largest freshwater lake to the north of the flight path.
Yangtze River Bends
Multiple crossings of the mighty Yangtze River as it meanders through the landscape.
Three Gorges Region
Breathtaking views of the steep river gorges near Wanzhou during the descent phase.
Chongqing Skyline
A spectacular view of the Jialing and Yangtze river confluence and the 'Mountain City' density on approach.
Book a morning flight to avoid glare and see the Yangtze clearly. This side is critical for seeing the Three Gorges and the iconic Chongqing city layout. During summer, look for the distinct green and brown water contrast where the rivers meet near the airport.
Wuyi Mountain Range
Rugged peaks and deep valleys marking the transition from Zhejiang into Jiangxi.
Southern Hunan Forests
Dense green canopy covering the undulating hills of central China.
Ganzhou Urban Cluster
Aerial views of the expanding urban centers in southern Jiangxi province.
Wuling Mountains
Stunning karst-like formations as the flight approaches the border of Hunan and Chongqing.
Choose a mid-afternoon flight to ensure the sun is high or behind you, highlighting the texture of the southern mountain ranges. Watch for the sudden change in topography as you enter the mountainous fringes of the Sichuan Basin.
