Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Jingdezhen Airport (Jingdezhen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior aerial perspective of the Beijing city center upon departure and the dramatic, rugged topography of the Dabie Mountains during the cruise phase.
Beijing Skyline
Potential views of the CBD skyscrapers and the historic Central Axis during the climb.
Western Hills
The mountainous fringe of the capital that marks the edge of the Mongolian Plateau.
Zhengzhou Hub
The dense urban grid of Henan's capital and its massive railway junctions.
Dabie Mountains
A stunning stretch of forested peaks and deep valleys on the border of Anhui and Hubei.
Jingdezhen Hills
The mist-covered green hills and tea plantations surrounding the 'Porcelain Capital'.
Choose a morning flight for the best photographic lighting over the Dabie Mountains. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes of flight for iconic views of Beijing's urban development, provided the flight path heads south.
Eastern Beijing
Vast views of the Tongzhou District and the starting point of the Grand Canal.
North China Plain
Geometric patterns of agricultural fields stretching across Hebei and Henan.
Yellow River
A clear view of the silt-heavy 'Mother River' as it meanders through Henan province.
Lake Chaohu
One of the five largest freshwater lakes in China, located near Hefei.
Yangtze River
Watch for massive cargo ships navigating the wide waters near Anqing.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. It offers better views of the aquatic landscapes of the Yangtze River basin and the sprawling urbanization of Hefei.
