Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Jingdezhen Airport (Jingdezhen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct view of the spectacular Danxia landforms in northern Guangdong and the sprawling Ganzhou urban area, with potential distant views of Poyang Lake during the descent.
Shenzhen Coastal View
Aerial perspective of the Qianhai Bay and the rapidly developing Bao'an District coastline shortly after takeoff.
Danxia Mountain
The world-famous red sandstone cliffs and unique geological formations near Shaoguan in northern Guangdong.
Ganzhou Cityscape
A clear view of the confluence of the Zhang and Gong rivers forming the Gan River in southern Jiangxi province.
Poyang Lake Horizon
On the descent into Jingdezhen, look west to see the distant shimmering waters of China's largest freshwater lake.
Book a morning flight to ensure the sun is on the opposite side of the aircraft, providing the best lighting for the red cliffs of Danxia Mountain. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur when photographing the Gan River valley.
Dongjiang River
The winding path of the East River, a vital water source for the Pearl River Delta, visible during the initial climb.
Wuyi Mountain Range
The dense, green peaks of the southern Wuyi mountains extending along the Jiangxi-Fujian border to the east.
Mount Sanqingshan
The distinct granite pillars and jagged peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site may be visible as you approach Jingdezhen.
Jingdezhen Approaches
The lush, hilly terrain and scattered porcelain production areas surrounding the city during the final approach.
The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Keep an eye out for the rugged mountain silhouettes of eastern Jiangxi, which are particularly dramatic during the 'golden hour' before sunset.
