Our Recommendation
8.1

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the majestic Yangtze River curves and the rugged peaks of the Dabie Mountains, providing a distinct contrast between water and high-altitude terrain.

Right Side Highlights
8.1
🐉

Yangtze River Bends

Spectacular views of the winding Yangtze as it flows through the Hubei and Anhui floodplains.

⛰️

Dabie Mountain Range

A series of sharp peaks and deep valleys that form a natural barrier between north and south China.

💧

Huai River Basin

View the complex network of canals and tributaries that define the agriculture of the North China Plain.

🌊

Chao Lake Distance

On clear days, the massive surface of Chao Lake is visible to the east during the mid-flight segment.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sun reflecting off the Yangtze. Look for the unique terrain of the Dabie Mountains as the flight crosses into Anhui. Use a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the mountain details.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Dongting Lake Edge

Early in the flight, catch the eastern silhouette of one of China's largest freshwater lakes.

🏙️

Wuhan Metropolis

A sprawling view of the triple cities and the numerous bridges spanning the Yangtze and Han rivers.

🏔️

Tongbai Mountains

Rolling green hills and ridges marking the border between Hubei and Henan provinces.

🚢

The Grand Canal

As you descend towards Xuzhou, look for the ancient artificial waterway cutting through the landscape.

Sit on the left for early views of Dongting Lake's vast expanse and a panoramic view of Wuhan's dense urban layout and many bridges. During evening flights, this side also catches the sunset over the central plains.
