Which side of the plane to sit from Nanping Wuyishan Airport (Wuyishan) to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the core Wuyi Mountain peaks upon departure and offers the best chance to see the Yangtze River winding through the mountainous terrain during the descent into Chongqing.

Wuyishan Grand Canyon
Aerial views of the iconic 'Thirty-six Peaks' and 'Ninety-nine Crags' shortly after takeoff.
Poyang Lake Basin
To the north, the vast wetland plains surrounding China's largest freshwater lake are often visible.
Yangtze River Bend
As the flight approaches Chongqing, the mighty Yangtze River becomes visible carving through the mountains.
Chongqing Skyline
Panoramic views of the 'Mountain City' with its towering skyscrapers squeezed between rivers.
Daba Mountains
The rugged northern perimeter of the Sichuan Basin, known for its frequent cloud seas.
For the most dramatic experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Wuyi peaks. During descent, look out for the confluence of the Jialing and Yangtze rivers, which is most prominent on the right side if landing from the east.
