Which side of the plane to sit from Yancheng Airport (Yancheng) to Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular vistas of the majestic Yangtze River and the expansive Dabie Mountains, alongside glimpses of major urban hubs like Nanjing and Wuhan.
Nanjing & Ma'anshan
The urban sprawl and industrial landscapes along the lower reaches of the Yangtze.
Yangtze River Bend
Dramatic views of the river's winding path as it cuts through the Anhui plains.
Dabie Mountains
An extensive and historically significant mountain range providing a dramatic northern horizon.
Wuhan Metropolitan Area
The distant skyline and suburban expansion of one of central China's largest transportation hubs.
Xiang River Valley
The primary waterway of Hunan province visible during the final descent into Changsha.
This side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' reflecting off the Yangtze River. During the descent into CSX, the aircraft often banks, providing a panoramic view of the Xiang River and the developing Changsha skyline. Keep your camera ready for the transition from the flat Yangtze basin to the more rugged terrain of Hunan.
Lake Chao
View one of China's largest freshwater lakes situated in Anhui Province.
Southern Anhui Peaks
The rolling hills and dense forests that form the northern foothills of the Huangshan region.
Poyang Lake Basin
The northern edges of China's largest freshwater lake system, critical for migratory birds.
Mufu Mountains
Rugged green ridges marking the geographic border between Jiangxi and Hunan provinces.
Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. In the summer, watch for the vibrant green rice paddies and the distinct shimmer of the Poyang Lake wetlands during the middle third of the flight.
