Which side of the plane to sit from Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the sprawling Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, and the majestic Mount Lu (Lushan) as you descend into Nanchang.
Bohai Bay Coastline
During departure from Tianjin, enjoy views of the industrial port areas and the shimmering coastline of the Bohai Sea.
Yellow River Crossing
Witness the massive, sediment-rich Yellow River as it snakes across the North China Plain in Shandong province.
Poyang Lake
The star attraction; a vast expanse of water and wetlands that changes dramatically with the seasons, located just north of Nanchang.
Lushan National Park
Look for the misty peaks and steep cliffs of this UNESCO World Heritage site standing prominently near the Yangtze River.
Anqing and Yangtze River
Aerial views of the Yangtze River as it winds through Anhui, often filled with barge traffic and industrial docks.
Book a window seat on the left (Port side) for the best views of Poyang Lake. For photography, choose a mid-afternoon flight to ensure the sun is on the opposite side of the plane, providing optimal lighting for the lake and Lushan mountains. In winter, you may see thousands of migrating Siberian cranes in the wetlands below.
North China Plain
Infinite patchworks of agricultural fields and rural villages that define the heart of China's grain production.
Dabie Mountains
A significant mountain range between the Huai and Yangtze rivers, featuring rugged terrain and dense forest cover.
Yangtze River Bend
A western perspective of the 'Long River' as the flight crosses from Hubei into Jiangxi province.
Infrastructure Corridors
Trace the routes of high-speed rail lines and expressways that connect the northern plains to the southern interior.
Gan River Delta
On final approach, view the Gan River which feeds into the southern end of Poyang Lake and flows through Nanchang.
The right side (Starboard) is excellent for observing the transition from flat plains to the rugged Dabie Mountains. If flying in the morning, this side remains in the shade, making it comfortable for viewing. During the descent, keep an eye out for the expanding urban skyline of Nanchang and the bridges crossing the Gan River.
