WUH → KHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, and the legendary peaks of Mount Lu during the descent.
Poyang Lake
The massive expanse of China's largest freshwater lake, which changes dramatically between wet and dry seasons.
Mount Lu (Lu Shan)
A UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its sea of clouds and historical significance, visible to the northeast of Nanchang.
Yangtze River Curves
The meandering path of the Yangtze River as it flows through the Hubei and Jiangxi border regions.
Liangzi Lake
A major lake south of Wuhan known for its aquatic life and scenic peninsulas visible early in the flight.
Sit on the left for the approach into Nanchang. The flight often banks over the northern tip of Poyang Lake. In summer, the lake is a vast blue sea; in winter, you will see intricate wetland patterns and migratory bird habitats. Afternoon flights are best as the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the water and mountains perfectly.
Wuhan Skyline
Depending on the departure runway, you can see the dense clusters of skyscrapers in the Wuchang and Hankou districts.
Mufu Mountains
The rugged mountain range that forms the natural border between Hubei and Jiangxi provinces.
Jiuling Foothills
Lush green rolling hills and traditional terraced agricultural landscapes of northern Jiangxi.
Gan River
The primary river of Jiangxi province, which you will cross just before touching down at Changbei Airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. It provides a better view of the mountainous interior of Jiangxi. Keep an eye out for the High-Speed Railway lines that run parallel to the flight path, appearing as perfectly straight white threads through the green countryside.
