WUH → SHE
Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Yangtze River upon departure, the rugged Dabie Mountains, and a spectacular coastal transition over Bohai Bay and the Liaodong Peninsula.
Yangtze River
A stunning view of the massive Yangtze River snaking through Wuhan and its numerous lake systems.
Dabie Mountains
Fly over the lush, high-altitude peaks and valleys of the Dabie mountain range on the Hubei-Anhui border.
Bohai Bay Coast
The route often skims the coastline, offering views of the intersection between the Yellow Sea and the northern Chinese mainland.
Liaodong Peninsula
Aerial views of the rugged coastline and maritime activity as the plane crosses into the Liaoning province.
Panjin Red Beach
During autumn months, look for the distinct crimson patches of the wetlands near the mouth of the Liaohe River.
Book the right side for morning flights to benefit from the best lighting over the Dabie Mountains. This side is essential for seeing the water features; keep an eye out for the dramatic coastline as you approach the Liaodong Peninsula. In autumn, the color contrast between the sea and the 'Red Beach' wetlands is a specific highlight.
Wuhan Cityscape
Panoramic views of the northern Hubei urban sprawl and the merging of industrial zones shortly after takeoff.
North China Plain
An endless tapestry of agricultural geometry and small villages stretching across Henan and Hebei provinces.
Zhengzhou Hub
Aerial perspective of one of China's most critical high-speed rail intersections and logistics centers.
Taihang Mountains
On clear days, the distant western horizon reveals the jagged silhouette of the massive Taihang range.
Shenyang Industry
Detailed views of the heavy industrial heritage and modern manufacturing plants of the Tiexi District during descent.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is better for observing the sheer scale of China's inland infrastructure and the transition from central plains to the northeast industrial heartland. Keep your camera ready for the unique grid-like patterns of the farmland in Henan.
