Wuhan East Lake
One of China's largest urban lakes, visible during the final descent into the city.
On morning flights, the left side offers a beautiful sunrise over the sea, though glare can be intense. Watch for the Yangtze River crossing roughly 25 minutes before landing. This side is ideal for spotting the dense lake networks of Hubei during the descent.

Views of the inner sea and the maritime traffic lanes heading towards the Beijing-Tianjin corridor.
Shandong Highlands
Rolling hills and rugged interior terrain of the Shandong province under the flight path.
Dabie Mountains
A major mountain range serving as a geographic boundary between northern and central China.
Northern Wuhan
The sprawling industrial zones and rapid urban development of the Jiangbei district.
Tianhe Airport

The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind the plane, improving visibility. Look for the Dabie Mountains during the mid-flight transition. During winter, the mountain peaks may have light snow cover, offering a stark contrast to the plains.
