KIX → WUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Kansai International Airport (Osaka) to Sunan Shuofang International Airport (Wuxi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Seto Inland Sea's archipelago and the massive Yangtze River estuary during the descent into China.
Seto Inland Sea
An incredible view of the 'Aegean of the East' with its hundreds of small, green islands and busy shipping lanes.
Hiroshima & Okayama
Bird's-eye views of the urban centers and industrial ports along the southern coast of Honshu.
Yangtze River Mouth
Observe the distinct color change where the silt-heavy Yangtze River meets the blue waters of the East China Sea.
Yangtze River Delta
A vast network of canals, rice paddies, and rapidly growing suburban developments characteristic of the region.
Suzhou Skyline
The modern skyscrapers and high-tech industrial zones of Suzhou are visible just before landing at WUX.
The right side is superior for coastal geography. Look out early for the Seto Inland Sea islands. As you approach China, watch for the massive cargo ships entering the Yangtze River. Morning flights are ideal for this side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun.
Awaji Island
A clear view of the large island and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge shortly after departing from KIX.
Shikoku Mountains
The rugged, forested peaks of southern Japan provide a dramatic landscape during the first leg of the journey.
Kyu-Shu Coastline
Panoramic views of the southern Japanese coastline before the flight heads out over the East China Sea.
Lake Tai (Taihu)
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible just south of Wuxi during the final approach phase.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Lake Tai during the descent into WUX. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the Japanese coastline without the direct glare of the sun.
