Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Yangtze River crossing and the majestic Mount Tai (Tai Shan) during the descent into Jinan.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
💧

Chao Lake

One of the five largest freshwater lakes in China, located near the city of Hefei.

🚢

Yangtze River Crossing

A spectacular view of China's longest river, often busy with commercial shipping traffic and massive bridges.

🏔️

Mount Tai (Tai Shan)

The most significant highlight, this sacred mountain appears on the approach to Jinan, standing prominently above the surrounding plains.

🏙️

Jinan Springs District

As the plane descends, look for the 'City of Springs' urban layout and the Daming Lake area.

🌉

Yellow River

Visible just north of Jinan airport, the cradle of Chinese civilization marks the northern end of the route.

Morning flights are ideal for the right side to get the best illumination of the mountains. Mount Tai is visible approximately 15 to 20 minutes before landing; ensure your window is clear as the descent begins.

⛰️

Lushan Mountain

Visible shortly after takeoff, this UNESCO World Heritage site features mist-shrouded peaks and deep valleys.

🌊

Poyang Lake (West)

The western expanse of China's largest freshwater lake, showcasing seasonal water level fluctuations and wetlands.

🚜

Anhui Farmlands

Intricate patterns of rice paddies and agricultural plots characteristic of the lower Yangtze plain.

🏙️

Bozhou Urban Area

Aerial view of the historical city known as the capital of traditional Chinese medicine.

Sit on this side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from Nanchang for the best views of the Lushan range.
