AQG → WUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Anqing Tianzhushan Airport (Anqing) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for tracking the winding Yangtze River and the vast network of lakes that define the Hubei-Anhui border region.

The Yangtze River
Visible for much of the flight, the river's massive bends and heavy barge traffic offer a constant spectacle.
Longgan Lake
A sprawling freshwater lake on the border of Anhui and Hubei, known for its irregular shoreline and wetlands.
Huangshi Urban Area
Industrial landscapes and dense urban development as the flight approaches the Wuhan metropolitan cluster.
Daye Lake
A significant lake system south of the flight path that reflects the sky beautifully during sunset.
Wuhan South Extension
Views of the rapidly growing Optics Valley district and East Lake High-tech Zone during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is particularly scenic during the summer months when lake water levels are high. Keep an eye out for the distinct bridges crossing the Yangtze near Huangshi.

Tianzhu Mountain
Shortly after takeoff from AQG, you can spot the granite peaks of the mountain for which the airport is named.
Dabie Mountains
The southern foothills of this major mountain range provide a rugged green backdrop to the north.
Hubei Farmland
A patchwork of rice paddies and agricultural plots characteristic of the Jianghan Plain's edge.
Macheng and Xinzhou
Smaller cities and rural hubs that mark the transition from Anhui hills to the Hubei flatlands.
The right side is better during afternoon flights as the sun moves south, providing softer lighting on the Dabie Mountain slopes. During winter, look for light snow dustings on the higher northern peaks.
