SIN → WUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Sunan Shuofang International Airport (Wuxi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more diverse range of scenery, including the Singapore skyline upon departure, the coastline of mainland China, and the stunning expanse of Lake Taihu during the final descent into Wuxi.
Singapore Cityscape
If taking off to the north, you get a clear view of the Marina Bay Sands and the Central Business District.
Hainan Island
The flight path often skims the eastern edge of Hainan, showing its tropical beaches and lush interior.
Fujian Mountains
As you enter mainland China, you will see the rugged and often mist-covered peaks of the Wuyi mountain range.
Xiamen Coastline
Excellent views of the island city of Xiamen and its extensive bridge systems connecting to the mainland.
Lake Taihu
A highlight of the flight; this massive freshwater lake is visible just moments before touchdown at Sunan Shuofang.
Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Ensure you are looking out about 15-20 minutes before landing to catch the full scale of Lake Taihu. In winter, look for snow-capped peaks in the Fujian and Zhejiang highlands.
Riau Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff, view the scattered Indonesian islands and busy shipping lanes of the Singapore Strait.
Paracel Islands
In the middle of the South China Sea, look for isolated coral atolls and turquoise lagoons.
Taiwan Strait
Observe the intense maritime traffic of one of the world's busiest shipping corridors.
Zhoushan Archipelago
Visible as you approach the Yangtze River Delta, featuring hundreds of islands and massive sea bridges.
Yangtze Delta Sprawl
The dense urban and industrial grid of the Greater Shanghai area comes into view during the descent.
The right side ('K' or 'F' seats) is superior for early morning departures to witness the sunrise over the South China Sea. Keep a close watch during the final 45 minutes of the flight for the spectacular sea bridges near Ningbo and Zhoushan.
