Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more dramatic perspective of China's major river systems, including the Yellow and Yangtze, along with the rugged transition into the southern mountain ranges.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

The Yellow River

Catch a glimpse of the iconic 'Mother River' as it winds through the northern Chinese landscape early in the flight.

🌉

Yangtze River Crossing

A major highlight near the mid-point of the journey, where the flight crosses the massive Yangtze near Wuhan or Jiujiang.

🏔️

Dabie Mountains

Deep green forested ridges and valleys visible during the transit through the Hubei and Anhui border regions.

🌲

Nanling Mountains

The rugged natural barrier separating central China from the subtropical climate of the Pearl River Delta.

🏙️

Pearl River Delta Approach

As you descend into CAN, watch for the dense network of rivers and industrial hubs surrounding Guangzhou.

Ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct morning sun and enjoy the sunset over the Nanling Mountains. Keep your camera ready for the Yangtze River crossing, which is often clearly visible even from high altitudes.

Left Side Highlights

⛰️

Mount Tai

Shortly after takeoff, look east to spot the silhouettes of one of China's most sacred mountains in the Tai'an range.

💧

Poyang Lake

The vast expanse of China's largest freshwater lake is visible as the flight traverses Jiangxi Province.

🏙️

Nanchang Cityscape

Aerial views of the Gan River and the developing skyline of the capital of Jiangxi.

Sit on the left for morning departures to witness the sunrise over the eastern plains. During the summer monsoon season, this side offers the best views of the high-water levels in the Poyang Lake basin.
