HRB → WUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiping Airport (Harbin) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Harbin skyline during takeoff, the majestic crossing of the Yellow River, and a more detailed approach over the dense urban sprawl and river systems of Wuhan.
Harbin Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the 'Ice City' and its unique European-influenced architecture upon departure.
Songnen Plain
Expansive views of China's fertile black soil region, showcasing vast agricultural patterns.
Yellow River Crossing
A prominent view of the sediment-rich Yellow River as the flight traverses the Central Plains.
Yangtze River Confluence
On the final approach, see the massive Yangtze and Han rivers meeting in the heart of Wuhan.
Wuhan Three Towns
Clear views of the dense skyscrapers and bridges connecting Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the sunset over the Taihang Mountains in the distance. During the winter, the frozen landscape of the north provides a stark, beautiful contrast to the temperate south. Keep your camera ready for the Wuhan river bridges during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
Songhua River Basin
View the wide, winding curves of the Songhua River as it snakes through the Northeast China Plain.
Bohai Rim Coastline
Distant views of the Liaoning coastline and the industrial ports along the Bohai Sea.
Dabie Mountains
Lush, green mountain ridges visible during the descent into the Hubei province.
Jianghan Plain Lakes
A mosaic of small lakes and aquaculture ponds that characterize the region surrounding Wuhan.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get clearer views of the coastal haze over the Bohai Sea. This side is particularly scenic in late spring when the Hubei lake district is at its most vibrant green.
