SZX â WUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Sunan Shuofang International Airport (Wuxi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of the high-density Pearl River Delta urban sprawl upon departure, glimpses of the East China Sea coastline, the impressive Hangzhou Bay Bridge, and a stunning perspective of the Suzhou-Wuxi metropolitan corridor during descent.
Shenzhen Skyline
Immediate views of the dense skyscrapers and the Ping An Finance Center shortly after takeoff from SZX.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
On clear days, the massive S-shaped sea-crossing bridge is visible as the plane nears the Zhejiang coast.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port
Aerial perspective of one of the world's busiest container ports and the scattered islands of the archipelago.
Shanghai Distant View
The Lujiazui skyline, including the Shanghai Tower, is often visible in the distance during the descent phase.
Suzhou Water Towns
Intricate patterns of canals and industrial parks as the plane glides over the Suzhou-Wuxi border.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to capture the 'Golden Hour' over the Yangtze River Delta. It offers the best views of the coastal infrastructure and the massive urban clusters of Shanghai and Suzhou. Be sure to look out for the distinctive architectural grid of the Suzhou Industrial Park just before landing.
Nanling Mountains
Dense, green mountain ranges visible shortly after leaving the Guangdong coastal plains.
Gan River Valley
Aerial views of the winding river systems and agricultural basins through Jiangxi province.
Yangtze River Crossing
A dramatic crossing of the world's third-longest river as the flight enters the Yangtze River Delta.
Lake Taihu
Massive freshwater lake with numerous islands, appearing on the left side during the final descent into Wuxi.
Wuxi Grand Canal
Glimpses of the ancient transport networks and modern bridges that define Wuxi's layout.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side provides the best angle for Lake Taihu, especially if the plane approaches Wuxi from the south on a clear day. Watch for the change from rugged mountains to the flat, water-rich plains of Jiangsu.
