Which side of the plane to sit from Jingdezhen Airport (Jingdezhen) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake, shortly after departure, followed by the winding Gan River and the scenic Nanling mountain ranges during the descent into Guangdong.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake is often visible to the west shortly after takeoff, showing its vast wetlands.
Gan River Meanders
Follow the primary river of Jiangxi province as it carves a path through the central valleys towards the south.
Nanling Mountains
The significant natural boundary between Jiangxi and Guangdong, featuring sharp peaks and dramatic topography.
Nanchang Distant View
On clear days, the skyline and urban expansion of the Jiangxi provincial capital can be spotted on the horizon.
CAN Approach View
Aerial perspective of the sprawling logistics hubs and northern districts of Guangzhou during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Gan River. Keep a close watch in the first 15 minutes for Poyang Lake. Be aware that Jiangxi is often hazy; high-contrast sunglasses help pick out geographical features.
Jingdezhen Porcelain District
Bird's-eye view of the historic 'Porcelain Capital' and its surrounding industrial and artisanal zones.
Gannan Mountain Ranges
The rugged, lush green hills of southern Jiangxi province characterized by deep valleys and dense forests.
Dong River Headwaters
Visualizing the winding tributaries that eventually form the East River, a vital water source for the Pearl River Delta.
Huizhou Outskirts
The rapid transition from rural agricultural land to the dense urban industrial clusters of eastern Guangdong.
Morning Sun Glare
Spectacular light reflecting off the clouds if taking an early morning flight heading south-southwest.
Sit in the rear of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. This side is particularly scenic during morning flights as the sun illuminates the mountains of Jiangxi without direct glare into your window.
