WUH → TNA
Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Yangtze River's major curves and the dense peaks of the Dabie Mountains, followed by a dramatic view of the Yellow River before landing.
Yangtze River Bends
Spectacular views of the massive river meandering north of Wuhan shortly after takeoff.
Dabie Mountains
The rugged heart of this major mountain range, showing complex ridges on the Hubei-Anhui border.
North China Plain
An endless patchwork of agricultural fields and small villages across Anhui and Shandong.
Yellow River
The distinctively silty, golden-brown waters of the Huanghe as the flight aligns for final approach at Jinan.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the mountains. It offers the most consistent views of the Yellow River, which is a major landmark for the Jinan approach. Look for the contrast between the river's sediment-heavy water and the surrounding green farmland.
Wuhan Urban Core
Aerial view of the Yangtze and Han River confluence and the city's dense skyscraper clusters.
Tongbai Range
Rolling hills and green valleys along the border of Hubei and Henan provinces.
Mount Tai
The majestic peaks of Taishan, a UNESCO World Heritage site, visible during the initial descent phase.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is the best for spotting Mount Tai approximately 20 minutes before landing, provided the visibility is high. Seats forward of the wing are recommended to capture the mountain's profile without engine heat distortion.
