Which side of the plane to sit from Liuting Airport (Qingdao) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks on this route, including the coastal departure from Qingdao, the crossing of the Yangtze River, and a prime view of Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, during the approach into Nanchang.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
Shortly after takeoff, catch a glimpse of this massive cross-sea bridge connecting Qingdao to Huangdao across the blue waters.
Lake Hongze
Observe the vast expanse of one of China's largest freshwater lakes as you fly over the watery landscapes of Jiangsu Province.
Yangtze River Crossing
A breathtaking view of the winding Yangtze River as the flight path transitions south towards the heart of Jiangxi.
Poyang Lake
The star attraction; look for the expansive wetlands and the shifting water lines of China's largest freshwater lake just before landing.
For the best visibility of Poyang Lake, choose a morning flight to avoid the afternoon haze. In winter months, the lake's water levels drop, revealing unique grassy wetlands and migratory bird habitats that are best seen from the left window. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.
Qingdao Urban Sprawl
Views of the rapidly developing western districts of Qingdao and the industrial hubs surrounding the bay.
Anhui Farmlands
A beautiful patchwork of agricultural fields and rural villages that define the landscape of the Central China plains.
Dabie Mountains
On a clear day, the rugged peaks of the Dabie Mountains are visible to the west, marking the boundary between the Huai and Yangtze drainage basins.
Gan River Delta
View the intricate network of the Gan River's tributaries as they feed into the southern reaches of the Poyang basin.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the inland mountains. Watch for the city lights of Hefei if the flight path deviates slightly west. During the descent, the Gan River provides a reliable geographical marker for the city's outskirts.
