WUH → DSN
Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Ordos Ejin Horo Airport (Dongsheng)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic transition from the lush greenery and river systems of central China to the unique, deeply eroded landscapes of the Loess Plateau and the rugged Qinling-Daba mountain ranges.

Han River Meanders
Shortly after takeoff, view the wide, winding Han River as it flows toward its confluence in Wuhan.
Daba Mountains
Fly over the dense, mist-covered peaks of the Daba range, marking the transition into Shaanxi province.
Loess Plateau Erosion
Witness the world's most extensive silt plateau, featuring incredible branching gullies and deep canyons carved by centuries of erosion.
Terraced Agriculture
Exquisite patterns of terraced farming cling to the sides of the yellow-earth hills, showcasing local engineering.
Yan'an Region
Aerial views of the historic Loess landscapes surrounding the cradle of the Chinese revolution.
For the best visibility of the Loess Plateau's textures, book a mid-afternoon flight when the sun is lower, creating long shadows that highlight the depth of the canyons. In winter, the snow highlights the terrace lines beautifully. Watch for the dramatic color shift from Hubei green to Shaanxi gold about 40 minutes into the flight.

Mu Us Desert
As you approach Ordos, see the vast stretches of the Mu Us Desert and the impressive 'Great Green Wall' reforestation efforts.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight to capture the contrast between the yellow desert sands and the modern, planned urban layout of the Kangbashi District in Ordos.
