Which side of the plane to sit from Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou) to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of China's major water systems, including Poyang Lake and the winding Yangtze River corridor, along with the famous Lushan mountain range.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake, appearing as a massive silver mirror with intricate wetlands and sandbars visible from high altitude.
Lushan National Park
The iconic peaks of Lushan Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its spiritual significance and dramatic cliffs.
The Yangtze River
Multiple sightings of the mighty Yangtze River as it meanders through the landscape toward the Three Gorges region.
Wuling Mountains
The northern edge of the Wuling range, featuring sharp karst topography and deep river-cut valleys near the Chongqing border.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. Try to book a morning flight to catch the sun reflecting off Poyang Lake. Keep your eyes peeled about mid-way through the flight for the Yangtze River's distinct curves. During winter, Lushan may be capped with snow, providing a stunning contrast to the surrounding valleys.
Ou River Estuary
Dramatic views of the winding Ou River and the rugged coastal mountains surrounding Wenzhou immediately after takeoff.
Luoxiao Mountains
Dense, green mountain ridges spanning the border of Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, often shrouded in morning mist.
Hunan Agricultural Basins
A patchwork of rice paddies and rural villages that create a vibrant green and yellow mosaic during the growing season.
Chongqing Southern Hills
The suburban expansion of Chongqing built directly into the steep, rolling terrain as the flight prepares for landing.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights, as the sun will be behind you. This side is excellent for seeing the dense forest cover of the southern highlands. Look out for the unique terraced farming patterns characteristic of the Jiangxi-Hunan border region.
