Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the world-renowned Zhangjiajie karst formations immediately after departure and a continuous view of the rugged Taihang Mountain range as the flight heads north.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Zhangjiajie Karst Pillars

Dramatic sandstone pillars and peaks of the Wulingyuan scenic area visible shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Wuhan Metropolitan Area

A view of the sprawling city and its numerous lakes as the flight passes over the Hubei province.

🏔️

Taihang Mountains

A massive, rugged mountain range running along the western edge of the North China Plain.

💧

Baiyangdian Lake

The largest freshwater lake in Northern China, recognizable during the descent toward the Tianjin area.

For the best views of the Zhangjiajie mountains, ensure you have a window seat on the left and look out within the first 5-10 minutes of flight. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the haze common in the North China Plain and to get clear lighting on the Taihang range.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Yangtze River

Cross Asia's longest river, easily identified by its scale and the heavy maritime traffic near Wuhan.

🌾

Yellow River Sinuous Path

View the sediment-rich waters of the Yellow River as it snakes across the plains of Henan province.

🚢

Bohai Gulf

As the plane approaches Tianjin, the right side often provides views of the coastline and the busy Bohai Sea.

🏗️

Tianjin Binhai District

The industrial and port hub of Tianjin, featuring massive container terminals and modern coastal development.

The right side is excellent for seeing the major river systems of China. If the airport is landing from the east, the right side provides a superior view of the Bohai Sea coastline and the massive Tianjin Port facilities. Use a polarized filter for photos to cut through coastal haze.
