Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Wuyi Mountains shortly after takeoff and a more consistent perspective of the vast Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River system as you approach Central China.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Wuyi Mountain Range

Cross over the UNESCO World Heritage site featuring jagged peaks and deep, lush valleys of northern Fujian province.

🌊

Poyang Lake

Gaze upon China's largest freshwater lake, observing the unique seasonal water levels and the network of surrounding wetlands.

🏞️

Gan River Meanders

Watch the intricate loops of the Gan River as it flows northward through the Jiangxi basin toward the Yangtze.

🌆

Wuhan East Lake

On the descent, enjoy views of Donghu (East Lake), one of the largest urban lakes in China, surrounded by green parks.

Sit on the left for the best morning light during early flights to avoid harsh glare. During the summer monsoon season, watch for massive cumulus cloud formations over the Wuyi Mountains. As you approach Wuhan, look for the distinct transition from the rugged Fujian hills to the flat, water-rich Jianghan Plain.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Fuzhou Coastal Plain

Immediately after departure, see the dense urban sprawl of Fuzhou and the Min River winding toward the East China Sea.

🧗

Sanqingshan National Park

Distant views of the granite peaks of Sanqingshan, known for its unique 'pillar' rock formations.

🌉

Yangtze River Crossings

Spot several of Wuhan's massive bridges spanning the Yangtze River as the aircraft lines up for its final approach.

🏭

Wuhan Industrial Hubs

View the massive industrial sectors and logistics ports along the riverbanks that define Wuhan's economic landscape.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the inland plains. If the aircraft approaches Wuhan from the east, this side provides a panoramic view of the Hankou waterfront and the confluence of the Yangtze and Han Rivers. Keep an eye out for the white-walled traditional architecture of villages in the Jiangxi-Anhui border region.
