Which side of the plane to sit from Nanjing Lukou Airport (Nanjing) to Mianyang Airport (Mianyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the rugged Dabie and Daba mountain ranges and provides a distant glimpse of the majestic Qinling Mountains without the glare of the southern sun.
Search flights from NKG to MIG
Dabie Mountains
Dense forest cover and sharp peaks along the border of Anhui and Hubei.
Han River Valley
The winding Han River cutting through the northern Hubei landscape.
Daba Mountains
A spectacular display of deep limestone valleys and rugged ridges during the mid-flight.
Qinling Range
On clear days, see the massive snow-capped peaks of the Qinling range to the far north.
Mianyang Urban Area
Scenic descent over the Fujiang River and the developing Mianyang skyline.
This side is best for photography due to indirect sunlight. Watch for the dramatic shift from plains to mountains about 45 minutes after takeoff. In winter, the northern peaks are often covered in snow.

Yangtze River Bend
Aerial view of the Yangtze's winding path as it leaves Nanjing toward Anhui.
Wuhan Metropolis
The vast urban sprawl of Wuhan and the shining waters of East Lake.
Wu Mountains
Dramatic ridges marking the transition into the mountainous corridor toward Sichuan.
Sichuan Basin Tapestry
A patchwork of fertile agricultural land unique to the 'Land of Abundance'.
Avoid mid-day flights if sitting on this side to minimize sun glare. Look out for the Yangtze early in the flight and the transition to the green Sichuan basin during the final 30 minutes.
