Which side of the plane to sit from Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang) to Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more scenic perspective of the rugged Wuyi mountain foothills and the lush Siming Mountains during the final approach into Ningbo.
Wuyuan Countryside
Famous for its Hui-style architecture and terraced fields, visible as white dots among green hills.
Wuyi Mountain Foothills
Dramatic ridges and deep valleys marking the transition into Zhejiang province.
Siming Mountains
Densely forested peaks that provide a beautiful backdrop during the descent into Ningbo.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port
The world's busiest port area with massive container ships and coastal infrastructure.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the mountains. During the descent, watch for the intricate network of reservoirs and rivers that feed the Ningbo agricultural plains.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake, visible shortly after departure from Nanchang.
Huangshan Distant Peaks
On clear days, the northern horizon reveals the jagged silhouettes of the Yellow Mountains.
Hangzhou Outskirts
Distant views of the Qiantang River and the expanding urban sprawl of Hangzhou.
Hangzhou Bay
A glimpse of the massive bay and its industrial coastline before turning toward Ningbo.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes after takeoff to capture the vast expanse of Poyang Lake, which changes significantly with the seasons.
