Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting for photography on this westbound route, avoiding direct southern sun glare while providing sweeping views of the Poyang Lake basin and the dramatic transition into the high-altitude karst topography of the Guizhou Plateau.

Wenzhou Cityscape
A panoramic view of the rapidly expanding urban skyline and the bustling commerce of the Wenzhou port.
Wuyi Mountains
The northern ridges of the Wuyi range, famous for its biodiversity and tea-growing terraces.
Poyang Lake Basin
The vast wetlands surrounding China's largest freshwater lake are often visible to the north in Jiangxi.
Changsha Perimeter
The northern outskirts of the Hunan capital, showcasing massive bridges crossing the Xiang River.
Fanjing Mountain Range
Rugged plateau edges and the northern Guizhou mountains as you descend toward Longdongbao.
The right side is ideal for afternoon travel as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfectly lit landscapes. Keep an eye out for the 'Sea of Clouds' effect, which is very common over the Guizhou mountains during the spring and autumn months. For the best views of the karst formations during descent, look for the 'broken' terrain where the plateau meets deep river valleys.

Ou River Estuary
Dramatic aerial views of the winding Ou River as it meets the East China Sea immediately after takeoff.
Mount Jianglang
A glimpse of the iconic 'Three Giant Peaks,' a UNESCO World Heritage Danxia landform in western Zhejiang.

Dense, mist-covered mountain ranges marking the border between the southern provinces.
Xiang River Valley

On morning flights, the left side provides excellent side-lighting for the mountain ridges. However, on afternoon flights, you may face significant sun glare. Watch for the massive infrastructure projects in Guizhou; some of the world's highest bridges are visible if the flight path tracks slightly south.
