Which side of the plane to sit from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou) to Fuyang Xiguan Airport (Fuyang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the winding Qiantang River and the scenic transition from the rugged Tianmu Mountain ranges in Zhejiang to the fertile plains of central Anhui.
Qiantang River Curves
Witness the dramatic, sweeping bends of the Qiantang River immediately after departing from Hangzhou.
Tianmu Mountain Range
View the lush, forested peaks of the Tianmu Mountains as you head northwest toward the Anhui border.
Fuchun River Valley
Glance at the historical Fuchun River area, famously depicted in classical Chinese landscape paintings.
Anhui Agricultural Mosaic
Observe the intricate patterns of rice paddies and seasonal crops that characterize the rural landscape near Fuyang.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. During the autumn, the contrast between the green hills and golden rice fields in the Anhui section is particularly striking. Keep an eye out for the distinctive white-walled Huizhou-style architecture in smaller villages.
Hangzhou Urban Span
A comprehensive view of the rapidly expanding urban districts and industrial parks north of Xiaoshan.
West Lake Distance View
On clear days, you can spot the iconic West Lake nestled against the city's western hills shortly after takeoff.
Infrastructure Corridors
Follow the paths of the Beijing-Shanghai and local high-speed rail lines that carve straight lines through the landscape.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the horizon. If the flight path takes a more northerly route, this side provides the best chance to see the dense urban sprawl of the Yangtze River Delta's southern edge.
