XUZ → CKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou) to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a more dramatic transition from the flat North China Plain into the rugged Daba Mountains, culminating in a spectacular view of the Jialing River and Chongqing's unique mountain-city skyline.
Xuzhou Guanyin Airport
A clear view of the airport layout and the rapidly developing logistics zones surrounding it.
Daba Mountain Range
Sharp, dramatic limestone ridges and deep valleys that define the geography of the flight's midpoint.
Danjiangkou Reservoir
Distant views of the massive blue reservoir that supplies water to the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
Jialing River Gorges
The winding, deeply carved path of the Jialing River as it approaches its confluence in Chongqing.
Chongqing Urban Core
A stunning view of the dense skyscraper clusters and bridges that make up the 'Mountain City' metropolis.
The right side is superior for sunset flights, as the light hits the mountain ridges and the Chongqing skyline beautifully. During descent, look for the 'Fog City' atmosphere where clouds often hang low in the valleys. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Jialing River for the best urban shots.
Xuzhou Cityscape
Aerial views of the historic hub of Xuzhou and the surrounding industrial landscape upon departure.
Huai River System
Intricate networks of rivers and canals that characterize the border between Northern and Central China.
Central China Plains
A vast patchwork of agricultural fields that change colors significantly with the seasons.
Eastern Daba Ridges
The initial foothills of the mountain range that separates the plains from the Sichuan Basin.
Yangtze River South Bank
Views of the winding Yangtze River and the southern districts of Chongqing during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly interesting during the summer months when the Huai River basin is lush and green. Watch for the distinct line where the plains end and the mountains begin near the Hubei border.
