Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Guangxi karst hills to the lush Luoxiao Mountains, ending with a panoramic approach over the Gan River and the Poyang Lake basin.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌲

Nanling Mountain Range

Fly over the rugged, forested borders separating Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan provinces.

⛰️

Luoxiao Mountains

A major north-south range featuring deep valleys and the historical peaks of the Jinggangshan region.

🛶

Gan River Delta

As the plane descends, follow the path of the Gan River as it widens and approaches the provincial capital.

🌊

Poyang Lake Horizon

On the final approach to KHN, look east to see the shimmering waters of China's largest freshwater lake.

🌉

Nanchang Bridges

Spot the numerous modern bridges spanning the Gan River as the flight enters the Nanchang metropolitan airspace.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. The highlight is the descent into Nanchang; ensure your window is clear as you cross the Gan River. The contrast between the rugged mountains mid-flight and the flat lake basin at the end is most striking from this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.3
🪨

Liuzhou Karst Topography

Shortly after takeoff, view the unique cluster of limestone peaks surrounding the industrial hub of Liuzhou.

💧

Xiang River Meanders

Witness the winding path of the Xiang River as it flows through the fertile plains of central Hunan province.

🏙️

Hengyang Cityscape

Catch a glimpse of Hengyang's urban layout and its positioning at the confluence of several major regional rivers.

⛰️

Mount Heng Range

Observe the distant northern slopes of Nanyue Hengshan, one of the Five Sacred Mountains of China.

Sit on the left for softer morning light when flying early. This side is better for spotting the dense urban development of Hunan's inland cities. Keep an eye out for the distinct red soil patterns typical of south-central China during clear weather.
