HKG → WUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Sunan Shuofang International Airport (Wuxi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is superior for its iconic aerial views of Hong Kong's skyline during takeoff and the stunning panorama of Taihu Lake and Suzhou's canal network during the descent.
Victoria Harbour
Experience a world-class view of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon's dense skyline if the flight departs toward the east.
South China Coastline
View the jagged coastline, hidden bays, and turquoise waters of the Sai Kung Peninsula early in the journey.
Wuyi Mountains
On clear days, see the distant mist-covered peaks of Fujian's famous tea-growing regions on the eastern horizon.
Taihu Lake
The crown jewel of the descent; this massive freshwater lake appears like an inland sea dotted with small islands.
Suzhou Canals
Witness the intricate network of waterways and modern industrial parks of the Yangtze River Delta just before landing.
This side is unbeatable for the departure out of HKG. During the approach to WUX, keep an eye out for the Lingshan Giant Buddha if the flight path circles the northern shore of Taihu Lake. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the harsh glare from the western sun reflecting off the lake surface.
Shenzhen Urban Core
Catch a glimpse of the dense skyscrapers and the Ping An Finance Center immediately after takeoff as you head north.
Nanling Mountains
Overfly the lush, rugged peaks that form the natural boundary between the Pearl River Delta and inland China.
Gan River Valley
Trace the winding path of Jiangxi province's primary waterway as it carves through the central plains.
Anhui Farmland
Observe the intricate geometric patterns of traditional agricultural plots and small villages in the fertile eastern plains.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine glare. Afternoon flights offer dramatic shadows over the Nanling mountains, though the sun may be direct; morning flights provide much softer light for photography of the Gan River valley.
