Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular aerial views of China's most famous mountain ranges, including the iconic Huangshan, as well as the sacred peaks of Mount Jiuhua and the rugged Siming Mountains before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🚢

Ezhou & Huangshi Port

A clear view of the heavy industrial activity and massive cargo ports along the southern Yangtze bank near Wuhan.

⛰️

Mount Jiuhua

One of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism, visible as a cluster of jagged, mist-covered peaks in southern Anhui.

🌲

Yellow Mountain (Huangshan)

The crown jewel of Chinese scenery; look for the high granite peaks and unique pine-covered ridges that define this UNESCO site.

🌄

Siming Mountains

Lush, forested highlands that dominate the landscape west of Ningbo as the aircraft begins its final descent.

⚓

Ningbo-Zhoushan Port

Views of the sprawling port infrastructure and coastal waterways that make this one of the world's busiest maritime hubs.

The right side is the clear winner for landscape enthusiasts. Aim for a morning flight to catch the sun lighting up the eastern faces of Huangshan. Be sure to select a seat either well ahead of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the high-altitude mountain ranges which appear approximately 30-40 minutes into the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Wuhan Cityscape

Broad views of the sprawling Wuchang district and the scenic East Lake shortly after takeoff from WUH.

🌊

Yangtze River Bends

Frequent sightings of the northern banks of the Yangtze River and its winding tributaries through Hubei and Anhui.

🌾

Anhui Farmlands

A vast geometric patchwork of agricultural fields and water-intensive crops characteristic of central China.

🌉

Hangzhou Bay

On the final approach, look toward the north to see the massive estuary where the Qiantang River meets the East China Sea.

Sit on the left if you enjoy watching the logistical activity of the Yangtze River corridor. This side is particularly scenic during the 'Golden Hour' on late afternoon flights, as the sun illuminates the northern riverbanks and the industrial skylines of cities like Ma'anshan in the distance.
