Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Shenzhen skyline during takeoff and the expansive Poyang Lake during the approach into Nanchang.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏢

Shenzhen Skyline

Clear views of the Ping An Finance Center and the modern architectural marvels of the Futian district.

🏞️

Danxia Landscapes

Distant glimpses of the unique reddish sandstone formations characteristic of northern Guangdong.

💧

Poyang Lake

The massive expanse of China's largest freshwater lake, visible to the east during the descent.

🏯

Nanchang Cityscape

Views of the Gan River bridges and the historic Tengwang Pavilion area during the final approach.

Prioritize the right side for the most iconic landmarks. On descent into KHN, the transition from rural Jiangxi to the vast Poyang Lake is stunning. Late afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography as the sun illuminates the lake's surface.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Pearl River Delta

Dense urban clusters and industrial hubs of Dongguan and Guangzhou's eastern periphery.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

The rugged, forested terrain that forms the natural border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.

🌊

Gan River Meanders

The winding path of the Gan River as it flows north through the Jiangxi basin.

The left side is excellent for observing the mountainous geography of northern Guangdong. To avoid harsh sunlight and glare, choose a morning flight when the sun is in the east.
