Poyang Lake
A breathtaking view of China's largest freshwater lake, featuring intricate wetlands and seasonal water level fluctuations.
Southern Anhui Mountains
Distant, misty silhouettes of the UNESCO-listed Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) and Jiuhua Shan ranges to the Southeast.
Jingdezhen Highlands
The rugged, forested terrain surrounding the historic porcelain capital of the world, visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Nanjing Southern Hub
Expansive views of Nanjing's southern development zones and the high-speed rail corridors converging on the city.
The right side is essential for seeing Poyang Lake, which is the scenic highlight of this route. For the best clarity, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. During summer, look for the 'mirror effect' on the lake's surface; in winter, look for the migratory bird habitats in the exposed mudflats.

Nanchang Cityscape
Aerial view of Nanchang's rapid urban expansion and the modern towers along the Gan River during initial climb.
Yangtze River Meanders
The mighty Yangtze River curves through the landscape, showing heavy industrial barge traffic and large river ports.
Anhui Agricultural Plains
A vast geometric patchwork of rice paddies and seasonal crops that change color significantly between spring and autumn.
Ma'anshan Infrastructure
View of the massive bridges and steel manufacturing complexes as the flight enters the Nanjing metropolitan influence zone.
Sit on the left for evening flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. This side is better for spotting the winding course of the Yangtze River as it parallels the flight path before crossing near Nanjing. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for views of the Yangtze bridges.
