Which side of the plane to sit from Yangzhou Taizhou Airport (Yangzhou) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of China's diverse inland geography, including the massive Yangtze River, the vast Poyang Lake, and the rugged mountain ranges of Jiangxi province.
Yangtze River Bends
Dramatic views of the river's winding path as the flight heads south from Yangzhou.
Poyang Lake
The largest freshwater lake in China, offering stunning vistas of wetlands and migratory bird habitats depending on the season.
Gan River Valley
The flight follows the path of the Gan River through Jiangxi, showcasing traditional agricultural landscapes.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged green barrier separating central China from the subtropical south, featuring deep valleys and peaks.
Pearl River Estuary
Stunning views of the intricate waterways and massive bridges connecting the western delta to Shenzhen.
Afternoon flights on the right side provide the best lighting for photography of Poyang Lake and the Jiangxi mountains. Keep an eye out about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the lake; its size changes drastically between the dry and wet seasons.
Yangtze River Delta
Expansive views of the river's mouth and the dense industrial landscape of Jiangsu shortly after takeoff.
Taihu Lake Region
Glimpses of the massive lake and the sprawling urban corridors of Wuxi and Suzhou to the east.
Wuyi Mountain Foothills
The eastern edges of the scenic Wuyi range, famous for tea production and dramatic rocky outcrops.
Shenzhen City Center
A close-up view of the Ping An Finance Centre and the Futian district skyline during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to see the sunrise over the East China Sea coast. On clear days, the urban density of the Pearl River Delta is most striking from this side during the approach to SZX.
