Which side of the plane to sit from Yangzhou Taizhou Airport (Yangzhou) to Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Yangtze River's southern banks, the expansive Poyang Lake, and the iconic, mist-shrouded peaks of Lushan National Park.
Yangtze Meanders
Spectacular aerial perspectives of the Yangtze River as it winds through the Jiangsu and Anhui plains.
Nanjing Outskirts
Distal views of Nanjing's sprawling urban development and the Purple Mountain region shortly after departure.
Lake Chaohu
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible as a vast silver mirror south of Hefei.
Lushan National Park
The dramatic cliffs and peaks of Mount Lu, often surrounded by a sea of clouds near the city of Jiujiang.
Poyang Lake Wetlands
Complex patterns of waterways and greenery where China's largest freshwater lake meets the Yangtze.
Choose a window seat on the left for afternoon flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Yangtze and Lushan. In summer, watch for the 'Sea of Clouds' over the Anhui and Jiangxi mountains which is most prominent in the early morning.
Hefei Cityscape
A direct view of the rapidly growing capital of Anhui Province and its distinctive radial urban planning.
Dabie Mountains
The rugged, forested ridgelines of the Dabie range forming a natural border between Anhui and Hubei.
Yangtze River Corridor
Vantage points looking down at the heavy industrial shipping traffic moving through the river valley.
Changsha Arrival
As the plane descends, enjoy views of the Xiang River and the bright lights of Changsha's central business district.
The right side is excellent for morning flights to avoid direct glare. During the winter months, the Dabie Mountains frequently feature snow-capped ridges, providing a stark and beautiful contrast to the surrounding valleys.
