HYN → CSX
Which side of the plane to sit from Huangyan Luqiao Airport (Huangyan) to Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most consistent landmarks, including the best views of the expansive Poyang Lake and the coastal exit from Taizhou, with better lighting conditions for photography on this westbound route.
Taizhou Bay
Clear views of the East China Sea coastline and the Ling River estuary immediately after takeoff.
Poyang Lake
A magnificent view of China's largest freshwater lake, showcasing its vast wetlands and seasonal water levels.
Lushan National Park
Misty silhouettes of the famous northern Jiangxi mountains visible on the horizon.
Nanchang Skyline
Distances views of the Gan River and the modern skyscrapers of the Jiangxi provincial capital.
Liuyang River
The iconic meandering curves of the river as the aircraft aligns for the final approach into CSX.
Sit on the right side for the best photography conditions, as the north-facing windows avoid direct sunlight on this westbound flight. The highlight is Poyang Lake, usually visible about 40-50 minutes into the flight depending on the specific air corridor assigned.
Wuyi Mountains
Distant views of the UNESCO-listed peaks along the border of Jiangxi and Fujian provinces.
Quzhou City
Aerial perspective of the historic city and the Qu River winding through western Zhejiang.
High-Speed Rail Networks
Intricate patterns of China's rail infrastructure cutting through the valleys of Jiangxi.
Southern Changsha
The urban sprawl of the southern districts and the broader Xiang River basin upon descent.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the southern ridges, though be prepared for significant sun glare. Watch for the sharp transition from coastal hills to the flatter basins of central China.
