CGQ → WUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Longjia Airport (Changchun) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a scenic approach over Wuhan's extensive lake systems and the Yangtze River, especially during the final descent into Tianhe Airport.
Bohai Gulf Coastline
Distant views of the Liaoning coastline and the Bohai Sea as the flight heads south from Changchun.
North China Plain
A vast tapestry of agricultural grids and organized rural communities stretching across Hebei and Henan.
Wuhan Urban Core
Dense clusters of skyscrapers and the vibrant city layout of one of central China's major economic hubs.
East Lake (Donghu)
The massive East Lake is clearly visible, showcasing its many scenic causeways and green urban parks.
Yangtze River
The wide, powerful Yangtze River serves as a dramatic landmark just before the final touchdown.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best panoramic views of Wuhan's lakes. During the morning, the sun will be on this side, so expect some glare; late afternoon flights offer beautiful golden reflections off the water. Look for the river about 15 minutes before landing.
Taihang Mountains
The western horizon features the silhouettes of the rugged Taihang mountain range throughout the mid-flight.
Yellow River
A distinct crossing over the iconic 'Mother River' of China, often identifiable by its sediment-rich color.
Zhengzhou Skyline
An aerial view of the sprawling capital of Henan Province and its central transit infrastructure.
Dabie Mountains
Lush, rolling hills marking the geographic transition from the northern plains into the Hubei basin.
Choose an 'F' seat on the right for late afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. The Yellow River crossing occurs roughly halfway through the journey and is best spotted in clear weather between April and October.
