Enshi Grand Canyon
Spectacular karst formations and dramatic cliffs visible during the early-to-mid stage of the cruise.
Wuhan River Crossing
The sprawling metropolis of Wuhan with its iconic bridges spanning the massive Yangtze River.
Anhui Water Towns
A mosaic of agricultural fields and traditional canal-side villages dotting the landscape.
Lake Taihu
The highlight of the descent; a massive freshwater lake filled with fishing boats and scenic islands.
Wuxi Lingshan Buddha
On a clear day during descent, the giant Buddha statue may be visible near the northern shore of Taihu.
The right side is the definitive choice for the landing phase. As the plane descends into WUX, you will likely fly directly over or alongside Lake Taihu, providing some of the best lake views in Eastern China. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind or above the plane, making for excellent photography conditions without glare.

Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side provides the best view of the dramatic shift from the Sichuan Basin mountains to the flat plains of Central China. Keep an eye out for the Three Gorges Dam area, though it often sits directly under or slightly left of the flight path.
