Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Taihang Mountain range and the urban landscapes of central China, while avoiding the direct glare of the sun on morning flights.
Wuhan Departure
Panoramic views of the Yangtze and Han rivers merging, along with Wuhan's sprawling skyline upon takeoff.
North China Plain
Infinite geometric patterns of agricultural fields across Henan and Hebei provinces, showcasing China's breadbasket.
Taihang Mountains
A stunning view of the rugged mountain range that separates the North China Plain from the Loess Plateau.
Shijiazhuang Skyline
The dense urban center of Hebei's capital is often visible mid-flight depending on the specific air corridor.
Western Hills
As you descend toward Tianjin, the distant foothills leading toward Beijing are often visible to the northwest.
Book an 'A' or 'B' seat. On morning flights, this side remains in the shade, providing better visibility and photo opportunities of the Taihang Mountains. During winter, look for snow-capped peaks on the western horizon.
Yellow River
The iconic 'Mother River' of China can be seen winding its way through the landscape midway through the journey.
Bohai Bay Coastline
As the flight approaches Tianjin, the shimmering waters of the Bohai Sea appear to the east.
Tianjin Port
One of the world's largest artificial deep-water harbors, visible with massive container ships and cranes.
Binhai New Area
The futuristic skyscrapers and modern architecture of Tianjin's coastal economic hub during the final descent.
TSN Final Approach
Close-up views of the industrial landscapes and logistics centers surrounding the Binhai International Airport.
Choose a 'K' or 'L' seat for the best coastal views. This side is spectacular during sunset flights as the light reflects off the Bohai Sea and the glass towers of the Binhai New Area. Watch for the Yellow River roughly 50 minutes after takeoff.
