Which side of the plane to sit from Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most prestigious landmarks, including an early view of Mount Tai and a spectacular panorama of Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, during the approach into Nanchang.
Mount Tai
Visible shortly after takeoff from Jinan, this sacred mountain rises sharply from the North China Plain.
Hefei Cityscape
The expanding urban footprint of the Anhui provincial capital is visible mid-flight.
Yangtze River
A magnificent crossing of China's longest river as the flight transitions from Anhui to Jiangxi.
Poyang Lake
Breathtaking views of the vast freshwater wetlands and the lake's seasonally shifting water levels on descent.
Nanchang East
Modern urban developments on the eastern bank of the Gan River as you prepare for landing.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to ensure the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountains and Poyang Lake without glare. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes after takeoff for Mount Tai and 20 minutes before landing for the lake wetlands.
Yellow River
The silt-rich 'Mother River' of China is clearly visible snaking through the landscape south of Jinan.
Anhui Farmlands
Exquisite patterns of agricultural fields that change colors with the seasons, from green wheat to golden harvest.
Dabie Mountains
The western horizon reveals the rugged, forested peaks of the Dabie mountain range in the distance.
Gan River Meanders
Follow the winding path of the Gan River as it flows north toward the Yangtze.
Select the right side if you are flying in the morning to benefit from softer light on the Yellow River. This side provides a better view of the agricultural heartland of central China. During the final approach, look for the intricate irrigation networks feeding into the Gan River basin.
