Which side of the plane to sit from Luzhou Airport (Luzhou) to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the majestic Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) and the iconic West Lake during the approach to Hangzhou.
Three Gorges Region
Dramatic limestone topography and the southern reaches of the Yangtze River's mountainous terrain.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake often appears as a vast blue expanse to the south of the flight path.
Huangshan (Yellow Mountain)
The world-famous granite peaks and pine forests of Anhui; a major highlight if the weather is clear.
West Lake (Xihu)
On the descent into Hangzhou, the iconic UNESCO World Heritage site is frequently visible to the south.
Qiantang River
The massive tidal river that snakes through Hangzhou, leading directly toward the airport runway.
Choose the right side for the best chance to see Huangshan. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side. During the final 15 minutes of flight, watch for the distinct silhouette of West Lake and the Leifeng Pagoda as you descend.
Luzhou Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the 'Liquor City' and the junction of the Yangtze and Tuo Rivers shortly after takeoff.
Dabie Mountains
Rugged mountain ranges bordering Hubei, Henan, and Anhui provinces visible to the north mid-flight.
Wuhan Metropolitan Area
A distant view of the massive tri-city hub and its numerous bridges crossing the Yangtze River.
Jianghan Plain
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and irrigation canals in central Hubei.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the Yangtze River as it winds its way north of the flight path during the mid-section of the journey.
