TYN → WUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiyuan Wusu Airport (Taiyuan) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Taihang Mountain escarpments and a clear perspective of the Yellow River crossing near the Henan plains.
Taiyuan Urban Basin
Aerial view of the Fen River winding through Taiyuan city during the initial climb.
Taihang Mountains
Rugged, steep-walled canyons and peaks marking the edge of the Loess Plateau.
Yellow River
A wide view of the 'Mother River' as the flight enters Henan Province.
Central Plains
Vast, intricate patterns of agricultural land across one of China's most fertile regions.
Dabie Mountains
Green, rolling peaks as the aircraft descends towards the Hubei border.
For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you when viewing the Taihang Mountains. Look out for the massive Yellow River bridge infrastructure about 35 minutes into the flight. In winter, the snow-capped Taihang range is particularly stunning.
Fen River Valley
The historic cradle of Chinese civilization stretching south from Taiyuan.
Funiu Mountains
The eastern extension of the Qinling range, providing dense forest views.
Nanyang Basin
A large, distinct geographical basin surrounded by mountains in southern Henan.
Hubei Lake Network
A glimpse of the numerous lakes and wetlands surrounding the Yangtze River system.
Wuhan Approach
Views of the rapidly expanding industrial and residential zones of northern Wuhan.
Select an afternoon flight to catch the sunset over the western mountains. On the descent into Wuhan, keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive 'Thousand Lakes' landscape, which is most visible on the right during a southerly landing pattern.
