Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Nanyuan Airport (Beijing) to Jiuhuashan Airport (Chizhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more dramatic geographical transition, moving from the vast North China Plain into the rugged Dabie Mountains and ending with a scenic approach toward the sacred peaks of Mount Jiuhua.

Taihang Mountains
The distant, jagged silhouette of the Taihang range defines the western horizon during the first half of the journey.
Central Plain Mosaic
A stunning bird's-eye view of the dense agricultural patchwork that characterizes China's breadbasket provinces.
Dabie Mountains
As the flight nears Chizhou, the landscape shifts into the lush, rolling peaks of the Dabie mountain range.
Mount Jiuhua Peaks
During the final descent, look for the 'Nine Glorious Mountains,' a major Buddhist site known for its dramatic rock formations and temples.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to experience the sunset behind the mountain ranges. The transition from the flat plains to the mountainous terrain of southern Anhui is most visible here. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, the aircraft usually banks in a way that provides an excellent angle of the Jiuhuashan scenic area.

Beijing Daxing View
Shortly after takeoff from the Nanyuan area, see the massive 'starfish' terminal of Daxing International to the south.
Mount Tai (Taishan)
One of China's Five Great Mountains, its prominent peaks in Shandong are visible on clear days about 45 minutes into the flight.
Yellow River Crossing
A clear view of the silt-heavy 'Mother River' as it meanders through the plains near the border of Shandong and Henan.
Hongze Lake Basin
The intricate network of canals, wetlands, and large freshwater lakes near the Anhui-Jiangsu border region.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to see the soft sunrise lighting over the North China Plain. As you enter Anhui, watch for the massive industrial bridges spanning the Yangtze River. Avoid sitting over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the river systems during the mid-flight phase.
