Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior visual progression, transitioning from the iconic karst peaks of Guizhou to the expansive waters of Poyang Lake during the final approach into Nanchang.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰ïļ

Guiyang Karst Topography

Immediately after takeoff, view the dramatic limestone hills and sinkholes unique to the Guizhou plateau.

🏔ïļ

Wuling Mountain Vistas

Distant views of the jagged, mist-covered mountain ranges that define the border of Guizhou and Hunan.

🌊

Hunan River Networks

A complex network of winding rivers and canals that eventually feed into the Yangtze River basin.

ðŸŒū

Central China Lowlands

Vibrant green agricultural patterns and rice paddies as the terrain flattens out toward Jiangxi.

ðŸĶĒ

Poyang Lake

China's largest freshwater lake becomes visible on the left during the descent, featuring seasonal wetlands.

Sit on the left for the best views of Poyang Lake, which is the highlight of the descent. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, glare-free views of the northern landscapes and lakes. Look out for the Gan River meeting the lake area just before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
ðŸ›Īïļ

Miao & Dong Valleys

Deep, forested valleys that are home to traditional ethnic minority villages and terrace farming.

ðŸŒē

Xuefeng Mountains

Rugged, densely forested peaks in central Hunan providing a dark green textured landscape from above.

ðŸ›ķ

Xiang River Crossing

A clear view of one of China's most important industrial and cultural waterways near the Hunan-Jiangxi border.

🌄

Mufu Ridge Lines

Scenic mountain ridges that separate the Xiang and Gan river basins, often catching the light in the afternoon.

🏙ïļ

Nanchang Cityscape

Panoramic views of the expanding urban core and the Gan River bridges as the plane turns for final approach.

The right side is excellent for afternoon or sunset flights, as you'll see the sun dip behind the southern mountain ranges. Keep an eye out for the architectural density of Nanchang's southern districts during the final 10 minutes of the flight. Seasonal mist in Guizhou is common, so higher altitudes offer better clarity of the peaks.
