Right Side Highlights

🛶

Gan River Channel

Excellent views of the main waterway of Jiangxi, often dotted with cargo barges and intricate meanders.

🌊

Poyang Lake Basin

As the flight nears Nanchang, the vast wetlands and southern waters of China's largest freshwater lake become visible.

🗼

Nanchang Urban Skyline

A close-up view of the modern skyscrapers and the iconic Ferris wheel on the Gan River banks during the final approach.

⛰️

Wuyi Range Foothills

The hazy, rhythmic ridges of the eastern mountain ranges that separate Jiangxi from Fujian.

A morning flight is ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating Poyang Lake and the Nanchang skyline perfectly. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the best river and lake scenery.
