Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of China's primary geographic divide, the Qinling Mountains, and provides an excellent perspective of the Leizhou Peninsula before crossing into Hainan.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

LΓΌliang Mountain Range

Rugged terrain and deep valleys of the Shanxi plateau immediately south of Taiyuan.

πŸ”οΈ

Qinling Mountains

The massive, snow-capped peaks that serve as the biological and climatic divide between North and South China.

🏞️

Yangtze River Gorges

Views of the winding Yangtze River and the dramatic elevation changes of the western Hubei mountain corridors.

πŸŒ„

Guangxi Karst Peaks

The iconic 'sugarloaf' limestone hills emerging from the landscape as you transition into Southern China.

πŸ—Ύ

Leizhou Peninsula

A perfect view of the southernmost tip of mainland China before the flight crosses the Qiongzhou Strait.

πŸ–οΈ

Haikou West Coast

Panoramic views of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Haikou's western tourist district during the landing approach.

The right side is highly recommended for late morning or afternoon flights. The crossing of the Qinling Mountains is the scenic highlight; ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing for the best view of the Leizhou Peninsula's red soil and coastal geometry.

7.4
πŸ™οΈ

Taiyuan Urban Landscape

Clear views of the Fen River winding through the industrial and modern skyline of Taiyuan shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Yellow River Sanmenxia

The muddy waters of the Yellow River carving through the loess landscape near the Henan-Shanxi border.

πŸ’§

Dongting Lake View

Distant glimpses of China's second-largest freshwater lake appearing as a silver mirror in the Hubei-Hunan basin.

πŸŒ‰

Haikou Meilan Bridge

Aerial perspective of the eastern Haikou coastal developments and the Nandu River delta during final descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. This side is better for spotting major water bodies like Dongting Lake and the eastern expansion of Haikou city.
