Which side of the plane to sit from Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the winding Yangtze River, the massive Hangzhou Bay during departure, and a better perspective of the Wuhan urban landscape during the descent.
Hangzhou Bay
A sweeping view of the coastal delta and the mouth of the Qiantang River during the climb.
Fuchun River
The winding river valley made famous in classical Chinese paintings visible below.
Yangtze River Mainstream
Extended views of China's longest river as it snakes through the Anhui and Hubei provinces.
Wuhan Urban Core
Densely packed skyscrapers and the sprawling metropolis of Hankou and Wuchang.
Yangtze River Bridges
Spot the iconic multi-level bridges connecting the three towns of Wuhan during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, well-lit views of the Yangtze River. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight for the best views of the Wuhan bridges and the confluence of the Yangtze and Han rivers.
Siming Mountains
Lush green peaks and deep valleys visible immediately after taking off from Ningbo.
Tianmu Mountain Range
Dramatic ridgelines and dense forest cover as the flight crosses western Zhejiang.
Huangshan Distant Peaks
The southern horizon reveals the jagged granite silhouettes of the famous Yellow Mountain range.
East Lake (Donghu)
One of China's largest urban lakes, appearing as a massive blue gem on the approach to Wuhan.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the mountains, but be aware of glare. This side is better for spotting the high-altitude peaks of southern Anhui. Watch for the transition from the rugged Zhejiang hills to the flatter Hubei plains.
