WUS β TNA
Which side of the plane to sit from Nanping Wuyishan Airport (Wuyishan) to Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most spectacular view of the Yellow Mountains (Huangshan) and a clear perspective of the Yangtze River crossing.
Yellow Mountains (Huangshan)
The iconic granite peaks and sea of clouds, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Yangtze River Crossing
A majestic view of the wide Yangtze River and its network of shipping traffic.
Nanjing Suburbs
Views of the industrial and residential sprawl of the ancient southern capital.
Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal
Spot the historic artificial waterway snaking through the plains of Jiangsu and Shandong.
Jinan New Area
The rapid development of Jinan's eastern suburbs during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the Yellow Mountains. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic mountain scenery. This side usually offers a clearer view of the Yangtze River bridges depending on the specific air corridor used.
Wuyishan National Park
Aerial view of the rugged Danxia landforms and lush tea plantations upon departure.
Lake Poyang
Distant views of China's largest freshwater lake to the west.
Hefei Skyline
The expanding urban center of Anhui province visible mid-flight.
Mount Tai (Taishan)
One of the Five Great Mountains of China, appearing as a massive granite block during descent.
Yellow River Meanders
The sediment-rich waters of the Yellow River visible as you align for Jinan.
Sit on the left for the best view of Mount Tai during the final 20 minutes of the flight. In the late afternoon, this side may experience significant sun glare, so bring an eye mask or choose a morning flight for clearer photography of the mountains.
