Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged topography of southern Anhui and the intricate water networks of the mid-Yangtze river basin.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Kuocang Mountains

Dramatic ridges visible shortly after takeoff from Huangyan, showcasing the high-altitude peaks of eastern Zhejiang.

🏝️

Qiandao Lake

The 'Thousand Island Lake' is often visible to the south, featuring crystal blue waters dotted with thousands of emerald islets.

🏔️

Southern Anhui Ranges

Aerial views of the misty, jagged peaks characteristic of the region near Huangshan, known for its granite cliffs and pine trees.

🌊

Yangtze River Meanders

As the flight approaches Wuhan, the left side provides views of the winding Yangtze and its numerous oxbow lakes.

🏙️

Wuhan Cityscape

During the descent, catch glimpses of the dense urban sprawl and the iconic bridges connecting Wuchang and Hanyang.

For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Keep a keen eye out about 20 minutes after takeoff for the distinctive patterns of Qiandao Lake. In winter, these mountains are frequently dusted with snow, significantly enhancing the contrast of the terrain.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🌾

Zhejiang Coastal Plain

A patchwork of agricultural fields and dense canal networks typical of the Yangtze River Delta's southern edge.

⛰️

Dabie Mountains

A major mountain range appearing to the north during the mid-portion of the flight, acting as a natural divide.

💧

Chaohu Lake

On clear days, one of China's largest freshwater lakes can be seen in the distance toward the northern horizon.

✈️

Wuhan North Approach

Views of the industrial corridors and developing northern districts of Wuhan during the final landing sequence.

The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers a broader view of the transition from the coastal lowlands to the inland mountain barriers. Visibility is often best in autumn when the air over the Anhui plains is clearest.
