Which side of the plane to sit from Ordos Ejin Horo Airport (Dongsheng) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Qinling Mountain range and the vast Danjiangkou Reservoir, followed by a more scenic approach into Wuhan's river-intersected urban landscape.
Mu Us Desert Edges
Sweeping views of desert dunes and reclamation projects visible immediately after departing from Dongsheng.
Qinling Mountains
The majestic mountain range that serves as the natural boundary between North and South China, featuring rugged peaks and deep valleys.
Danjiangkou Reservoir
A massive, clear turquoise water body known as the source of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
Yangtze River Confluence
Spectacular views of the Han River merging into the Yangtze, with Wuhan's iconic bridges and skyscrapers visible during the approach.
Sit on the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Keep your camera ready about 40-50 minutes into the flight for the Qinling Mountains. During the descent, look for the Han River to spot the specific point where it meets the Yangtze in central Wuhan.
Ordos Plateau
Unique transitional landscapes between the Mu Us Desert and the semi-arid grasslands of Inner Mongolia shortly after takeoff.
Yellow River Bends
Aerial views of the massive loops of the Yellow River as the flight traverses the Shaanxi-Inner Mongolia border region.
Central Plains Tapestry
The intricate agricultural patchwork of the Henan plains, displaying different colors depending on the crop season.
Wuhan Northern Suburbs
Dense urban clusters and industrial zones as the aircraft begins its final descent into Tianhe International.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the North China Plain, though window glare can be an issue. In winter, this side offers the best chance to see snow-covered loess formations in northern Shaanxi.
