CKG → TXN
Which side of the plane to sit from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing) to Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the karst topography in western Hubei and the dramatic approach into the Huangshan mountain region.
Enshi Grand Canyon
Spectacular karst landscapes with deep vertical fissures and narrow valleys.
Wuling Range
A series of dramatic peaks extending from the Zhangjiajie region.
Dongting Lake
One of China's largest freshwater lakes visible on the southern horizon.
Yangtze Bends
Close-up views of the river's southern meanders through central Hubei.
Huangshan Peaks
The iconic granite spires and 'sea of clouds' topography during the final descent.
This is the best side for afternoon flights for optimal lighting on the scenery. The approach into TXN is the highlight; the Yellow Mountain range typically appears to the south of the aircraft's path during the descent.
Daba Mountains
Rugged limestone peaks forming the northern boundary of the Sichuan Basin.
Yangtze River Gorges
Distant views of the winding river as it carves through the Wu Gorge region.
Shennongjia Forest
A glimpse of the lush, high-altitude biodiversity hotspot in western Hubei.
Wuhan North
The massive urban sprawl and industrial zones of northern Wuhan are visible mid-flight.
Dabie Mountains
The eastern range that marks the transition into the lower Yangtze plains.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Keep an eye out for the Yangtze River roughly 30 minutes after takeoff; it frequently appears to the north.
