Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Taihang Mountains early in the flight and the meandering Gan River upon arrival in Nanchang.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Taihang Mountains

Stunning ridges and peaks visible along the western horizon for the first 45 minutes.

🏙️

Shijiazhuang Skyline

A panoramic view of the major industrial and transport hub of Hebei Province.

🌊

Yellow River Crossing

A majestic view of the river's bend and the surrounding agricultural irrigation systems.

⛰️

Dabie Mountains

Lush, forested peaks appearing as the plane transitions into the middle Yangtze region.

🏙️

Wuhan Distant View

On clear days, catch glimpses of the Yangtze River and the skyline of Central China's largest city.

🏗️

Gan River Descent

Follow the winding path of the Gan River as it flows directly through Nanchang city center.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun illuminates the Taihang Mountains with a golden hue. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for excellent views of Nanchang's urban development and the Tengwang Pavilion area near the river.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Tianjin & Langfang

Early flight views of the sprawling metropolitan hubs south of Beijing.

🛶

The Grand Canal

Spot the historic and ancient waterway cutting through the North China Plain.

🌊

Yellow River

Cross the wide, silt-heavy 'Mother River' of China near the Henan border.

🏞️

Huai River

Cross the traditional geographic boundary between North and South China.

💧

Poyang Lake

A spectacular view of China's largest freshwater lake just minutes before touchdown.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. The highlight is Lake Poyang; its size varies greatly by season, being most impressive during the summer flood season. Watch for the change in landscape from the dry northern plains to the lush southern wetlands.
