SHA → JDZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (Shanghai) to Jingdezhen Airport (Jingdezhen)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Yangtze River Delta and the rolling hills of Southeast China, the right side provides a superior vantage point for the iconic Huangshan mountain range and the massive Lake Tai.

Hongqiao Transport Hub
An immediate view of the massive interconnected airport and high-speed rail complex upon departure.
Lake Tai (Taihu)
The shimmering northern horizon features the vast expanse of China's third-largest freshwater lake.
Huangshan Massif
The legendary granite peaks of the Yellow Mountains, often poking through a sea of clouds in the distance.
Ceramic Valley
The final descent over the rugged, clay-rich hills that have supplied Jingdezhen's porcelain kilns for centuries.
Choose a seat toward the front or the very rear to avoid the wing, which can block the distant view of Huangshan. Late afternoon flights are spectacular on this side, as the low sun casts long shadows over the mountain ridges, highlighting the dramatic topography of the Anhui region.

Minhang Urban Sprawl
A bird's-eye view of Shanghai's rapid southern expansion and dense residential grids shortly after takeoff.
Qiantang River Winding
The broad, silver ribbon of the Qiantang River as it flows through the outskirts of Hangzhou.
Qiandao Lake
The 'Thousand Island Lake' visible as a vast turquoise mosaic of emerald-green islets nestled in the mountains.
Zhejiang Highlands
Continuous stretches of dense, misty forest-covered hills marking the border between Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces.
The left side is excellent for seeing the intricate patterns of Qiandao Lake. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun is positioned to the southeast, illuminating the islands without causing direct glare into your window. Keep your camera ready about 25-30 minutes into the flight.
