FUG → HGH
Which side of the plane to sit from Fuyang Xiguan Airport (Fuyang) to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the vast Chao Lake shortly after departure and provides a more dramatic perspective of the Qiantang River and the scenic hills of western Zhejiang during the descent into Hangzhou.

Chao Lake
One of the largest freshwater lakes in China, offering a stunning blue expanse visible shortly after the climb from Fuyang.
Southern Anhui Peaks
The terrain becomes increasingly mountainous with lush green ridges as you cross from Anhui into Zhejiang province.
Qiantang River
The iconic winding river that leads directly into Hangzhou, often featuring dramatic bends and silt patterns.
Hangzhou Skyline
During the final approach, the skyscrapers of the Qianjiang New Town and the Binjiang District come into view.
The right side is the prime spot for capturing the beauty of Chao Lake and the mountainous border regions. For the best experience, try to book a flight that arrives in the late afternoon to see the 'golden hour' reflections on the Qiantang River. Note that if the plane approaches from the west, you may get a distant glimpse of West Lake just before landing.

Hefei Cityscape
A distant view of Anhui's provincial capital and its expanding urban footprint as you head southeast.
Yangtze River Crossing
Views of China's longest river as the flight path intersects the waterway near Wuhu or Ma'anshan.
Anhui Plains
A patchwork of agricultural fields that define the fertile landscape between Fuyang and the Yangtze.
Sit on the left if you want to avoid direct afternoon sun on south-bound legs. Keep an eye out for the massive bridges spanning the Yangtze River, which are often visible even from cruising altitude. Early morning flights offer the best lighting for the rural Anhui landscape.
