Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the rugged Yandang Mountains upon departure, a clear view of the massive Lake Tai, and a scenic crossing of the Yangtze River closer to the inland industrial hubs.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Yandang Mountains

Shortly after takeoff from Wenzhou, witness the jagged peaks and rhyolite formations of this UNESCO Global Geopark.

🏙️

Hangzhou & West Lake

Distances permitting, catch a glimpse of the sprawling urban center of Hangzhou and the historic West Lake area.

💧

Lake Tai (Taihu)

A vast view of one of China's largest freshwater lakes, surrounded by the bustling cities of Suzhou and Wuxi.

🌉

Yangtze River Crossing

A dramatic crossing of the world's third-longest river, often visible near the Zhenjiang and Nanjing corridor.

🛤️

Nanjing Outer Limits

Views of the suburban sprawl and transport hubs connecting the southern and northern parts of the Yangtze Delta.

Sit on the left for the best mountain views during the climb. Choose a morning flight to minimize smog interference over the Yangtze River Delta. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic terrain.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

East China Sea Coast

Enjoy views of the coastline and the numerous small islands dotting the waters near Wenzhou and Taizhou.

🌉

Hangzhou Bay Bridge

One of the longest trans-oceanic bridges in the world can be seen as a thin white line stretching across the bay.

🏙️

Shanghai Skyline Distant View

On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of Pudong and the massive port facilities are visible to the east.

🌾

Jiangsu Water Countryside

The landscape transforms into a green and yellow grid of rice paddies and intricate canal networks approaching Huai'an.

The right side is ideal for seeing the coastal geography. If the flight path takes a more easterly route, you will have an excellent view of the massive infrastructure projects in the Hangzhou Bay area. Best viewed in the late afternoon for soft lighting on the water.
