Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Enshi Airport (Enshi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views of the Three Gorges Dam and the dramatic limestone cliffs of the Xiling Gorge as you transition from the plains to the mountains.
Hankou Skyline
Views of Wuhan's primary commercial district and the busy confluence of the Yangtze and Han rivers.
Three Gorges Dam
The world's largest power station and its massive ship locks, visible north of the flight path near Yichang.
Xiling Gorge
The easternmost of the Three Gorges, featuring winding river passages and steep limestone peaks.
Karst Formations
Spectacular jagged mountain peaks and deep sinkholes that define the Enshi landscape during descent.
Western Hubei Mist
The famous 'cloud sea' often trapped between the narrow ridges of the Wushan Mountains.
Sit behind the wing for a clear view of the Three Gorges Dam, which usually appears about 40 minutes after takeoff. Afternoon flights offer dramatic shadows across the mountain ridges, highlighting the rugged terrain.
Wuchang District
Aerial view of Wuhan's educational and tech hub, including the sprawl around East Lake shortly after takeoff.
Yangtze River Crossings
Glittering views of the various bridges connecting Wuchang to Hanyang across the Yangtze.
Jingzhou Ancient City
The distinct square outline of the historic city walls of Jingzhou visible on the Jianghan Plain.
Qingjiang River
The 'Mother River' of the Tujia people, snaking through deep green valleys as you enter Enshi territory.
Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the southern landscape. Keep a sharp eye out mid-flight for the historical city of Jingzhou, which stands out against the flat agricultural fields of the plain.
