Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the coastal landscapes during departure and a breathtaking aerial perspective of Hongze Lake during the final approach into Huai'an.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Daya Bay Coastline

Glimpses of the South China Sea coastline and Huizhou industrial ports.

🍃

Eastern Jiangxi Hills

Lush, rolling hills famous for tea plantations and rural village clusters.

🏞️

Hongze Lake

Stunning views of China's fourth largest freshwater lake just before landing.

🌾

Jiangsu Waterlands

An intricate patchwork of canals, ponds, and rice paddies characteristic of the region.

The right side is the clear winner for the approach into Lianshui. Request a window seat here to see the vast expanse of Hongze Lake. In late afternoon, the sun will illuminate the water and the 'Water Forest' wetlands beautifully.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Pearl River Delta

Massive urban sprawl of Dongguan and Guangzhou during the initial ascent.

⛰️

Jiulian Mountains

Verdant peaks of northern Guangdong and southern Jiangxi province.

💧

Kan River Valley

The main artery of Jiangxi province winding through agricultural basins.

🌉

Yangtze River Crossing

Aerial views of the massive Yangtze River and its industrial traffic near Nanjing.

Sit on the left for better views of the dense city clusters in the Pearl River Delta shortly after takeoff. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, making photography of the Yangtze River easier without cockpit window glare.
