TXN → HFE
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan) to Hefei Luogang International Airport (Hefei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the Huangshan granite peaks immediately after takeoff, followed by the sacred temples of Jiuhua Mountain and a spectacular crossing of the Yangtze River.
Huangshan Massif
The world-famous 'Yellow Mountain' peaks, including Lotus Peak and Bright Summit, visible shortly after departure from TXN.
Jiuhua Mountain
One of China's four sacred Buddhist mountains, recognizable by its cluster of ancient temples perched on steep ridges.
Yangtze River Crossing
A majestic view of the winding Yangtze River near Tongling, often dotted with heavy river traffic and barges.
Chaohu Lake
One of the five largest freshwater lakes in China, providing a massive blue horizon just before the descent into Hefei.
Book a window seat toward the front of the cabin to prevent the wing from blocking the steep verticality of the Huangshan peaks. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains, creating dramatic shadows.
Qiyun Mountain
A sacred Taoist mountain known for its unique Danxia landforms and red sandstone cliffs.
Taiping Lake
A stunning turquoise reservoir situated between Huangshan and Jiuhua Mountains, often called the Emerald of Southern Anhui.
Jianghuai Plains
Vast stretches of agricultural patchwork featuring traditional Anhui villages and rice paddies.
Hefei Western Suburbs
The growing urban sprawl and industrial development of the provincial capital as you approach Luogang.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. This side offers a better view of the rural 'Hui' style architecture with its iconic white walls and grey tiles in the valleys.
