Which side of the plane to sit from Sanya Phoenix International Airport (Sanya) to Yangzhou Taizhou Airport (Yangzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the dramatic departure from Sanya Bay, the rugged inland mountains of Jiangxi, and the best angle for the Yangtze River crossing during the descent into Yangzhou.
Sanya Bay Coastline
Breathtaking aerial views of the crescent-shaped Sanya Bay and the luxury high-rises along the shore during takeoff.
Nanshan Guanyin Statue
If the flight departs toward the west, look for the 108-meter tall white statue standing in the sea.
Jinggang Mountains
Lush, dense green mountain ranges as the flight traverses through the Jiangxi province terrain.
Western Poyang Lake
Views of the shoreline and wetlands of China's largest freshwater lake, especially striking during high water seasons.
Runyang Yangtze Bridge
A massive suspension bridge spanning the Yangtze River, visible during the initial descent phase into the Yangzhou area.
Book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains and the Yangtze River with a golden glow. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes of takeoff for the iconic Sanya coastal shots. During the descent, watch for the distinct transition from the mountainous South to the flat, water-intersected plains of the Yangtze Delta.
Wuzhizhou Island
A beautiful coral island surrounded by turquoise waters visible shortly after departing from Sanya.
South China Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue sea and cargo ships as the flight moves northeast along the coast.
Wuyi Mountains
Distant views of the jagged, mist-covered peaks of the Wuyi mountain range on the Jiangxi-Fujian border.
The Grand Canal
Sections of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal can be seen snaking through the landscape of Jiangsu.
Yangzhou Cityscape
A view of the dense urban layout and the surrounding network of lakes and smaller rivers near the airport.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side to catch the sunrise over the South China Sea. As you approach Yangzhou, look for the 'checkerboard' pattern of fish ponds and rice paddies, which are particularly beautiful during the spring and autumn when the colors are most vibrant. The right side typically gets a clearer view of the airport terminal upon landing.
