Which side of the plane to sit from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (Xiamen) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the UNESCO-listed Wuyi Mountains and a breathtaking view of Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, during the descent into Nanchang.
Xiamen Bay & Islands
Stunning panoramas of the Taiwan Strait and the Xiamen coastline immediately after takeoff.
Wuyi Mountain Range
A chance to spot the dramatic peaks and deep valleys of this famous UNESCO World Heritage site.
Poyang Lake
The massive expanse of China's largest freshwater lake, particularly vibrant during high-water seasons.
Nanchang Skyline
Views of the historic city center and the iconic Tengwang Pavilion area near the river banks.
The right side is essential for seeing Poyang Lake; sit here for flights arriving in the late afternoon for golden hour reflections on the water. In winter, look for white clusters on the lake shores, which are often migratory birds.
Xiamen Urban Coast
Aerial views of Xiamen's dense island layout and the Haicang District bridges during initial climb.
Fujian Green Ridges
Continuous views of the lush, rolling hills of interior Fujian Province.
Gan River Valley
The winding path of the Gan River as it snakes through the Jiangxi plains towards the north.
Honggutan CBD
A view of Nanchang's modern skyscraper district on the west bank of the river during final approach.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. It provides excellent views of the urban expansion of Nanchang's western districts just before landing.
