CGO → HFE
Which side of the plane to sit from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou) to Hefei Luogang International Airport (Hefei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more diverse landscape, featuring the transition from the flat Central Plains to the rugged foothills of the Dabie Mountains and views of several large inland water bodies during the descent into Hefei.
Dabie Mountain Range
Distant but clear views of the rolling peaks and forested ridges of the Dabie Mountains to the southwest.
Wabu Lake
A significant freshwater lake north of Hefei, appearing as a shimmering mirror during clear weather.
Anhui Rural Landscapes
A transition to more terraced and water-intensive farming practices as the flight progresses south.
Xinqiao Area
Views of the modern infrastructure surrounding the new Hefei aviation hub during the final approach phase.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset or golden hour lighting over the mountains. Keep an eye out for the distinct change in terrain elevation as you leave the flatlands of Henan and enter the more undulating landscape of Anhui province.
Zhengzhou Metropolis
Aerial view of the sprawling industrial and residential sectors of southern Zhengzhou shortly after takeoff.
Central Plains Agriculture
Infinite geometric patterns of wheat and corn fields that define the agricultural heartland of China.
Huai River System
The crossing of the Huai River, which serves as a traditional geographic boundary between North and South China.
Zhoukou and Fuyang
Dense urban clusters and river confluences visible in the eastern Henan and western Anhui regions.
Morning flights on the left side offer soft light over the plains, but be prepared for potential haze which is common in this region. This side is better for spotting the dense network of high-speed rail lines that converge in this part of China.
