SZX → WUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the dense urban landscape of the Greater Bay Area upon departure and prime views of the Yangtze River and East Lake during the descent into Wuhan.
Shenzhen Skyline
Witness the incredible density of the Nanshan and Bao'an districts immediately after takeoff.
Mount Danxia
Look for the unique red-colored sandstone landforms of this UNESCO World Heritage site in northern Guangdong.
Poyang Lake Basin
Distant views of the wetlands and floodplains that feed into China's largest freshwater lake.
The Yangtze River
A magnificent view of the 'Golden Waterway' and the massive bridges spanning it as you approach Wuhan.
East Lake (Donghu)
Spot the sprawling urban lake and its green causeways just before landing at Tianhe Airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun remains on the opposite side. It provides the most iconic views of Wuhan's geographic layout, including the intersection of the Yangtze and Han rivers.
Pearl River Estuary
Aerial view of the vast shipping lanes and the complex island geography of the western Pearl River delta.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged green peaks forming the natural border between Guangdong and Hunan provinces.
Hengyang City
A clear view of this major industrial hub situated at the confluence of the Xiang and Zheng rivers.
Xiang River Valley
Follow the winding path of Hunan's largest river as it meanders toward Dongting Lake.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the mountains, but beware of direct glare. This side is better for spotting the rural agricultural patterns of central China.
