Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of China's diverse topography, including the massive Taihu Lake, the world-famous Huangshan mountain range, and a spectacular approach into the karst landscape of Liuzhou without the glare of the southern sun during typical daytime flights.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Pudong Skyline

A glimpse of the Lujiazui financial district and the winding Huangpu River during the initial climb.

🌊

Taihu Lake

China's third-largest freshwater lake, featuring numerous islands and a sprawling coastline.

🏔️

Huangshan Foothills

The misty, jagged peaks of the Yellow Mountains are often visible to the north in clear weather.

🛶

Xiang River

The primary waterway of Hunan province, snaking through industrial cities and agricultural plains.

🪨

Liuzhou Karst Peaks

Breathtaking views of the 'Forest of Stone Peaks' that surround and dot the city of Liuzhou during landing.

Choose the right side for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting on the landscape. This side is particularly rewarding during the last 20 minutes of the flight as the plane descends through the iconic karst mountain formations. In summer months, look for towering cumulus clouds over the mountains of Anhui and Jiangxi.

7.5
🌉

Hangzhou Bay

Aerial view of the massive estuary and the Cross-Sea Bridge shortly after departing Shanghai.

⛰️

Sanqingshan National Park

Dramatic granite peaks and forested ridges visible as the flight crosses Jiangxi province.

🏔️

Heng Mountain

One of the Five Sacred Mountains of China, appearing as a prominent ridge in central Hunan.

🌾

Guangxi Basin

The transition from rugged mountains to the lush, green basin surrounding the destination.

The left side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Keep an eye out for the Hangzhou Bay Bridge roughly 15 minutes after takeoff. During descent into Liuzhou, this side often provides a broader view of the rural landscape before the final turn toward the airport.
