Which side of the plane to sit from Macau International Airport (Macau) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views, starting with the spectacular Hong Kong and Shenzhen skylines upon departure and concluding with a panoramic view of the Yangtze River and Wuhan's urban sprawl.
HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
A stunning bird's-eye view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge immediately after takeoff.
Shenzhen Skyscrapers
The massive verticality of the Ping An Finance Centre and the Nanshan district skyline.
Poyang Lake View
China's largest freshwater lake can often be spotted to the east depending on the specific air corridor.
Yangtze River Confluence
The dramatic meeting of the Han River and the Yangtze River as the plane enters the Wuhan area.
Wuhan Urban Core
Comprehensive views of the 'Three Towns of Wuhan' and the numerous bridges spanning the Yangtze.
The right side is unbeatable for the departure phase; keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes. For morning flights, use a polarizing filter if possible to manage the sunlight reflecting off the Pearl River Estuary.
Zhuhai Coastline
Aerial perspective of the western Pearl River Delta and the modern urban layout of Zhuhai.
Nanling Mountain Range
The rugged green peaks that form the natural geographic boundary between Guangdong and Hunan provinces.
Xiang River Meanders
The winding path of the Xiang River as it flows north through the Hunan plains toward the Yangtze.
Changsha Skyline
On clear days, the dense high-rise clusters of Hunan's provincial capital are visible to the west.
Hubei Wetlands
A patchwork of agricultural fields and small lakes typical of the Jianghan Plain south of Wuhan.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is better for observing the mountainous interior and the intricate irrigation systems of central China.
