Which side of the plane to sit from Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan) to Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers the most dramatic views immediately after departure, featuring the world-renowned Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) peaks and the porcelain capital of Jingdezhen.
Huangshan Peaks
Immediately after takeoff, witness the granite massifs and 'Sea of Clouds' of the Yellow Mountains to the North.
Jingdezhen City
Fly over the legendary 'Porcelain Capital,' visible as a dense urban center surrounded by lush green hills.
Mufushan Mountains
Rugged ridges and deep valleys marking the border between Jiangxi and Hunan provinces.
Changsha CBD
On the approach to CSX, the right side often provides a clearer view of the modern skyscrapers and the IFC tower.
Huanghua Logistics Hub
Detailed view of the massive infrastructure and rapid development surrounding the destination airport.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the iconic Huangshan peaks shortly after departure from TXN. In the afternoon, the lighting on the mountains is superb. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for a view of the Changsha skyline during the descent.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake, showcasing vast wetlands and seasonal water level changes.
Jiangxi Farmlands
Intricate patterns of rice paddies and agricultural terraces typical of the region's rural landscape.
Lu Mountain Region
Distant silhouettes of the misty Lu Mountain peaks as you transition from Anhui to Jiangxi.
Xiang River
The major waterway of Hunan province, visible as the flight approaches the Changsha metropolitan area.
South Changsha
Aerial views of the sprawling residential developments and green belts in southern Changsha.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. This side is ideal for spotting the massive Poyang Lake ecosystem mid-flight. During the summer wet season, the lake's expansive reach is particularly impressive.
