WUHHGH

Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Yangtze River's southern meanders and the world-renowned mountain ranges of Anhui, including Huangshan and Jiuhuashan, as well as the Qiantang River on approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🐉

Yangtze River Curves

Witness the dramatic bends and silver reflections of Asia's longest river as the flight path parallels its southern course.

🛕

Jiuhua Mountain

Spot the sacred Buddhist peaks of Jiuhuashan, recognizable by their steep cliffs and often shrouded in morning mist.

🏔️

Huangshan (Yellow Mountain)

On clear days, view the iconic granite peaks and sea of clouds surrounding one of China's most famous UNESCO World Heritage sites.

🏝️

Qiandao Lake

The 'Thousand Island Lake' may be visible to the south during the descent, showing emerald waters dotted with countless small islands.

🌉

Qiantang River

The final approach offers a stunning view of the wide Qiantang River and the modern skyline of Hangzhou's Qianjiang New Town.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. For the best experience, book a late afternoon flight to see the sunset reflecting off the Yangtze and the golden hour light hitting the Anhui mountains. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 25-35 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic mountain scenery.

🏙️

Wuhan Urban Core

Aerial view of the massive triple-city sprawl of Wuhan and the confluence of the Yangtze and Han Rivers during takeoff.

⛰️

Dabie Mountains

The northern horizon is dominated by the rolling peaks of the Dabie mountain range stretching across the border of Hubei and Anhui.

🌊

Yangtze North Bank

Follow the intricate patterns of the river's northern floodplains and the bustling industrial ports along the water.

🛶

Grand Canal

Identify the southern reaches of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal as the flight enters the Zhejiang province.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct southern sunlight and glare. It provides a clearer view of the massive industrial developments and urban expansion of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
