XUZ → LYG
Which side of the plane to sit from Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou) to Lianyungang Airport (Lianyungang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Huaguoshan mountain range and the northern industrial and maritime infrastructure of Lianyungang during the descent.
Xuzhou East Industrial Zone
Aerial view of the expanding manufacturing and logistical hubs on the eastern outskirts of Xuzhou shortly after takeoff.
Yi River Crossings
Vibrant views of the Yi River as it snakes through the plains toward the Yellow Sea.
Huaguoshan Range
The legendary 'Mountain of Flowers and Fruits' from Journey to the West, appearing as a prominent green massif near the destination.
Lianyungang Port
The massive maritime gateway and docking facilities visible on the horizon during the final approach.
Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to see the Huaguoshan peaks. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the mountain contours and the coastline without glare. This is a very short flight, so keep your camera ready immediately after reaching cruising altitude.
Jiangsu Agricultural Mosaic
A vast, colorful patchwork of rice and wheat fields that define the fertile North China Plain.
Grand Canal Traces
Segments of the historic canal network and smaller tributary waterways used for local irrigation.
Rural Settlements
Densely clustered villages and local townships like Shuyang, showing the high population density of the region.
Salt Evaporation Ponds
Intricate, geometric pools used for salt production near the coastal reaches of the flight path.
The right side is best for those interested in the geometric patterns of Chinese agriculture and rural planning. Use a polarized lens to better capture the reflections from the irrigation canals and salt ponds near the coast. Late afternoon flights provide a warm glow over the farmlands.
