Which side of the plane to sit from Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of China's most famous water bodies, including the intricate islands of Qiandao Lake and the vast expanse of Poyang Lake.
Qiantang River
The wide, meandering river known for its massive tidal bores, visible shortly after takeoff.
Qiandao Lake
Also known as Thousand Island Lake, featuring over 1,000 emerald islands in turquoise waters.
Huangshan Distant Peaks
On clear days, the silhouette of the Yellow Mountain range can be spotted to the north.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake; look for the distinct change between water and wetlands.
Lushan National Park
The majestic and historically significant peaks rising near the northern shores of Poyang Lake.
The right side is highly recommended. For the best clarity of Qiandao Lake, aim for a morning flight to avoid the afternoon haze. In winter, Poyang Lake recedes into a series of streams and grasslands, which is geographically fascinating compared to its full summer state.
Siming Mountains
Dense, green mountain ranges immediately west of Ningbo, often shrouded in morning mist.
Jinhua Cityscape
A clear view of the urban center of Jinhua as the flight traverses central Zhejiang.
Jiangxi Farmland
A patchwork of rice paddies and traditional villages characteristic of the region's agricultural heartland.
Upper Gan River
The winding river that defines the geography of Nanchang as you approach for landing.
HSR Corridors
The impressive infrastructure of China's High-Speed Rail lines visible cutting through the hills.
Sit on this side for better views of the rugged southern Zhejiang terrain. During sunset flights, this side will experience direct sunlight, which can be harsh for photography but beautiful for golden hour views of the Gan River.
