WUH → TAO
Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Liuting Airport (Qingdao)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the winding Yangtze River, the historic Grand Canal, and the breathtaking approach over Jiaozhou Bay with its massive cross-sea bridge.
Yangtze River
Sweeping views of China's longest river as it winds eastward from Wuhan.
The Grand Canal
The ancient engineering marvel cutting through the watery landscapes of Jiangsu.
Yellow Sea Coast
The dramatic meeting of the Chinese mainland and the blue waters of the Yellow Sea.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
A spectacular view of one of the world's longest sea-crossing bridges.
Qingdao Peninsula
The classic 'red tiles and green trees' aesthetic of the coastal city.
A morning flight is ideal to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the water. The highlight is the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, visible on the right during the final 15 minutes of the flight; ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for the best angle. During summer, the coastline is particularly vibrant with turquoise waters near the Laoshan area.
Dabie Mountains
Rugged forested ridges marking the border between Hubei and Anhui provinces.
North China Plain
Expansive patchworks of agricultural fields stretching toward the horizon.
Mount Tai
In clear weather, the silhouette of this sacred peak is visible to the northwest.
Weifang Cityscape
Bird's eye view of the world's kite capital as you traverse central Shandong.
Jiaozhou Industrial Zone
Large-scale manufacturing and logistics hubs visible during the final descent.
Opt for an afternoon flight to catch the sun illuminating the Dabie Mountains. Look out for the silhouette of Mount Tai roughly 40 minutes after takeoff if the sky is clear. In winter, the snow-capped peaks of Shandong offer a stark, beautiful contrast to the plains below.
