NKG â KHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Nanjing Lukou Airport (Nanjing) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers prime views of the winding Yangtze River and the dramatic silhouette of Lushan Mountain shortly before arrival.
Yangtze River Bend
Continuous views of the Yangtze River as it meanders through Wuhu and Tongling.
Ma'anshan Bridge
Spot the massive engineering feat of the Yangtze River bridge shortly after takeoff.
Mount Lushan
A spectacular UNESCO World Heritage site featuring sheer cliffs and frequent misty shrouds near the descent.
Poyang Lake Basin
Expansive views of the vast water surface and seasonal grass flats of the lake.
Nanchang Urban Area
Views of the Gan River and the modern skyscrapers of the Honggutan District during final approach.
The right side is significantly more scenic during the descent phase. To best capture Mount Lushan, choose a seat forward of the wing. During winter months, the lake bed of Poyang reveals intricate 'tree-like' water channels that are best viewed from this side.
Shijiu Lake
A large, shallow lake shared between Nanjing and Ma'anshan, often appearing like a mirror on clear days.
Southern Anhui Hills
Dense green rolling hills and valleys characteristic of the Jingxian and southern Anhui region.
Mount Huangshan Vistas
On extremely clear days, the distant jagged peaks of the famous Yellow Mountain can be spotted on the horizon.
Jingdezhen Environs
The hilly terrain surrounding the historic porcelain capital of China.
Poyang Lake Wetlands
The eastern edges of China's largest freshwater lake, vital for migratory birds.
Ideal for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, shadow-rich views of the Anhui topography. Keep an eye out for the unique 'water-level' bridges crossing Shijiu Lake shortly after departure.
