Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more direct view of the massive Guangzhou-Foshan urban sprawl shortly after takeoff and typically provides a better angle of the iconic Yangtze and Han River confluence during the approach into Wuhan.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Pearl River Delta Sprawl

Witness the immense urban density of Guangzhou and Foshan as the flight climbs north from the coast.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

Aerial views of the rugged green peaks and deep valleys that separate Guangdong from Central China.

💧

Dongting Lake

On clear days, look toward the western horizon to see the vast expanse of China's second-largest freshwater lake.

🚜

Hunan Farmlands

A patchwork of vibrant rice paddies and agricultural plains characteristic of the Middle Yangtze River basin.

🌉

Wuhan River Confluence

The dramatic meeting point of the brown Yangtze and the greener Han River, centered in the heart of the Three Towns of Wuhan.

For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On late afternoon flights, the left side will be the 'shade side,' reducing glare for photography. Watch for the massive bridge networks spanning the Yangtze as you descend into Wuhan; the contrast between the two rivers is most visible during summer and autumn.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏮

Shenzhen Skyline

Catch a glimpse of the Ping An Finance Centre and the dense skyscrapers of the Nanshan and Futian districts.

🧱

Danxia Mountain Range

Distinctive red sandstone formations and cliffs near Shaoguan, known for their unique geomorphology.

🌊

Gan River Valley

The flight path often follows the winding Gan River, showing a mix of hydroelectric dams and river commerce.

🏞️

Mufu Mountains

Steep, forested ridges along the border of Jiangxi and Hubei provinces, often shrouded in morning mist.

🌳

Wuhan East Lake

Just before landing, view one of China's largest urban lakes, surrounded by parks and university campuses.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Keep an eye out for the red rock formations of the Danxia landforms about 30 minutes into the flight. If the plane approaches WUH from the north, the right side will provide an excellent view of the East Lake (Donghu) scenic area and the surrounding greenery.
