Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Taihang Mountain range edges and a sweeping panorama of Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, during the descent into Nanchang.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Taihang Mountains

Dramatic cliffs and ridges where the Shanxi plateau drops sharply toward the North China Plain shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Yellow River Crossing

The massive, silty 'Mother River' of China winding through the fertile Henan plains near Zhengzhou.

🏔️

Dabie Mountains

Dense, green mountain peaks straddling the borders of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui provinces mid-flight.

🚢

Yangtze River

The wide, busy waterway of the Yangtze as it flows toward the Jiujiang region near the Jiangxi border.

💧

Poyang Lake

Spectacular views of China's largest freshwater lake, showcasing complex wetland patterns and water channels during descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct southern sun glare. Keep your camera ready approximately 20 minutes before landing for the best shots of Poyang Lake; the views are particularly striking in summer when water levels are high.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Taiyuan Cityscape

A clear view of the Fen River and the urban sprawl of Taiyuan immediately following departure from Wusu Airport.

🌾

Central Plains Agriculture

A vast tapestry of agricultural fields across Henan and Hubei, reflecting the changing seasons of China's breadbasket.

⛰️

Mount Lu (Lushan)

The iconic, often cloud-shrouded peaks of Lushan, a UNESCO World Heritage site, visible during the approach to Nanchang.

🌊

Gan River

The primary river of Jiangxi province, which feeds into the Yangtze and provides a scenic backdrop for the final approach.

🏗️

Nanchang Urban Area

Views of the expanding Nanchang skyline and the Gan River bridges just before touchdown.

Choose the right side for late afternoon or sunset flights to catch the golden hour over Mount Lu. During the winter months, look for occasional snow-capped peaks in the northern part of the route. Lushan will be visible as a prominent massif shortly before the final descent sequence.
