JDZ → XIY
Which side of the plane to sit from Jingdezhen Airport (Jingdezhen) to Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (Xi'an)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic transition between the lush wetlands of Jiangxi and the rugged, towering peaks of the Qinling Mountains, which serve as the natural boundary between North and South China.

Poyang Lake
Shortly after takeoff, view the northern reaches of China's largest freshwater lake and its complex seasonal wetlands.
Wuhan Outskirts
Look for the sprawling urban development and the industrial clusters surrounding the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Han River Valley
The winding silver thread of the Han River becomes visible as you pass over Hubei, cutting through deep green valleys.
Qinling Mountains
The most dramatic part of the flight; see the massive, cloud-piercing ridges that act as a climate barrier for the Xi'an basin.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare while enjoying the shadows defining the Qinling ridges. This side is particularly stunning in winter when the mountain peaks are snow-capped, creating a sharp contrast with the brown plains of Shaanxi.

Lushan Mountain
A glimpse of the famous mist-shrouded peaks of Mount Lu near the city of Jiujiang shortly after departure.
Yangtze River Crossing
A magnificent view of the Yangtze River as it bends through the plains of Central China near the Hubei-Anhui border.
Dabie Mountains
Aerial views of the dense forests and rolling peaks of the Dabie range, historically a significant geographic barrier.
Guanzhong Plain
The fertile Wei River valley appears during the descent, showcasing the highly organized agricultural patterns of Shaanxi.
The right side is ideal for seeing the Yangtze River's scale early in the flight. During the descent into Xi'an, keep your camera ready for the Wei River; on a clear day, the contrast between the yellow loess soil and the river water is visually striking.
