Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more scenic approach into Hefei, featuring expansive views of major inland lake systems and the dramatic descent over Chao Lake.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏞️

Dongting Lake Basin

Expansive views of the wetlands and water networks connected to China's second largest freshwater lake.

🏔️

Mufu Mountain Range

Scenic mountain ridges that define the border regions between Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi.

🌊

Chao Lake (Chaohu)

A spectacular sight during the final descent, this massive lake provides a beautiful backdrop to the Hefei metro area.

🏗️

Hefei Cityscape

Views of the rapidly growing skyline and the Binhu New District as the plane aligns for landing.

The right side is highly recommended for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset reflecting off the many lakes along this route. Request a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of Chao Lake, which is the highlight of the arrival phase into Hefei.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Guangxi Karst Peaks

Dramatic limestone formations and jagged green hills visible immediately after takeoff from Nanning.

🌆

Wuhan Urban Fringe

The sprawling outskirts and high-density developments of one of Central China's largest industrial hubs.

🪵

Dabie Mountains

Dense forest cover and rugged ridgelines marking the transition into the Anhui provincial border.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the glare of the eastern sun. Keep your camera ready during the first 20 minutes of the flight to capture the unique karst topography of the Guangxi region before the terrain flattens out.
