CSX → WUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha) to Sunan Shuofang International Airport (Wuxi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior due to its panoramic views of the massive Lake Tai during the final descent and the potential to spot the rugged peaks of southern Anhui mountains in clear weather.
Mufu Mountain Range
Rugged terrain and green ridges marking the geographic border between Hunan and Jiangxi provinces.
Poyang Lake Horizon
Distant views of China's largest freshwater lake, which acts as a massive natural mirror during the daylight hours.
Huangshan Peaks
On exceptionally clear days, the silhouette of the famous Yellow Mountain peaks can be seen far to the south.
Taihu Lake (Lake Tai)
The absolute highlight of the trip, offering a vast view of the lake's islands and fishing boats during the descent into WUX.
Wuxi Urban Density
A close-up view of the high-rise residential towers and industrial hubs of the Yangtze River Delta just before landing.
Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side. Ensure you have a window seat behind the wing to get an unobstructed view of Lake Tai, which will be the most prominent feature during the last 15 minutes of the flight.
Changsha Eastern Skyline
Aerial view of the Xiang River and the rapidly developing urban landscape of Changsha immediately after takeoff.
Yangtze River Arteries
Glimpses of the winding Yangtze River as it meanders through the plains of Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.
Hefei City Lights
During evening flights, the brightly lit capital of Anhui province provides a spectacular light show from cruising altitude.
Anhui Agricultural Patchwork
A rhythmic pattern of rice paddies and water canals that define the traditional rural landscape of Eastern China.
Nanjing Distant View
Far-off views of the ancient capital's skyscrapers and the bridges crossing the massive Yangtze River.
Sit toward the front to avoid engine heat haze. This side is better for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare while looking north toward the Yangtze River basin.
