SHEKHN

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior scenic experience, featuring expansive views of the Bohai Sea coastline and the spectacular Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, during the descent into Nanchang.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Bohai Sea Coastline

Aerial views of the Liaodong Gulf and the rugged coastline transitioning into the Yellow Sea.

🌅

Yellow Sea Horizon

Clear views of the sea horizon as the flight bypasses the eastern edge of the Shandong Peninsula.

🚢

Yangtze River Crossing

A view of the massive Yangtze River as it winds through the plains of southern Anhui.

🦆

Poyang Lake

The flight's highlight: the vast expanse of China's largest freshwater lake, famous for its seasonal wetlands.

🌾

Gan River Delta

Lush green agricultural patterns and intricate waterways as the aircraft prepares for its final approach.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you for the best colors over the Bohai Sea. The view of Poyang Lake appears approximately 15-20 minutes before landing; it is especially vibrant during the summer high-water season when the lake is at its largest.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Shenyang Cityscape

Panoramic views of the industrial capital of Liaoning shortly after takeoff from Taoxian.

🚜

North China Plain

An endless patchwork of agricultural fields stretching across the Hebei and Shandong provinces.

⛰️

Dabie Mountains

In the distance to the west, the silhouettes of the Dabie mountain range can be seen during the cruise.

🌉

Gan River Meander

Views of the Gan River as it snakes through the western side of the Nanchang metropolitan area.

⛰️

Meiling National Park

The scenic forested peaks of the Meiling mountains located just west of Nanchang city during the descent.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep an eye out for the urban sprawl of Nanchang and the Meiling Mountains during the final descent, which offers a dramatic contrast between nature and the city.
