Which side of the plane to sit from Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo) to Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake, and the impressive Qiantang River basin, along with the urban skyline of Nanchang.
Qiantang River Basin
The winding silver ribbon of the Qiantang River flowing through the fertile plains of northern Zhejiang.
Qiandao Lake View
Distant views of the 'Thousand Island Lake' and its turquoise waters tucked between mountain ridges.
Poyang Lake
The massive expanse of China's largest freshwater lake, a critical habitat for migratory birds.
Nanchang Skyline
The dense urban center of the Jiangxi provincial capital located along the banks of the Gan River.
Mufu Mountains
Lush, high-altitude ridges that provide a dramatic backdrop as the flight enters Hunan airspace.
This side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, shadow-rich views of Poyang Lake. Keep your camera ready about 40-50 minutes into the flight for the best lake vistas.
Siming Mountains
Dense, verdant mountain ranges of eastern Zhejiang visible shortly after takeoff from Ningbo.
Mount Jianglang
Distinctive Danxia landforms near Jiangshan, featuring three massive vertical rock pillars.
Jiangxi Farmlands
A patchwork of rice paddies and rural villages scattered across the rolling hills of southern Jiangxi.
Luoxiao Mountains
The rugged border range between Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, marking the final descent phase.
Sit toward the rear to avoid wing obstruction of the mountain peaks. Afternoon flights may face significant sun glare on this side; morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Zhejiang highlands.
