WUH → YNT
Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Yantai Laishan Airport (Yantai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an exceptional aerial transition from the central river systems to the coastal beauty of the Shandong Peninsula, culminating in a scenic descent over the Yellow Sea.

Yangtze River
A stunning perspective of China's longest river as the flight departs from the Wuhan metropolitan area.
Hongze Lake
One of the largest freshwater lakes in China, appearing as a massive blue mirror to the east.
Shandong Peninsula Coast
The dramatic meeting of the North China Plain and the azure waters of the Yellow Sea.
Zhifu Island
A unique land-tied island near Yantai harbor that serves as a landmark during the final approach.
Yantai Port
Excellent views of the extensive maritime shipping lanes and docklands as the plane enters the landing pattern.
The right side is optimal for morning flights to see the sun glinting off the Yellow Sea. During the descent into Yantai, stay alert for the distinct coastline and the islands of the Bohai Strait. Ensure your window is clear, as the coastal humidity can sometimes cause light haze.

Dabie Mountains
Visible shortly after takeoff from Wuhan, these rugged peaks mark the natural border between Hubei and Anhui.
Yellow River Crossing
A clear view of the silt-laden 'Mother River' as it cuts through the North China Plain.
Mount Tai
One of China's most sacred peaks, Taishan can be spotted rising dramatically from the flat terrain of Shandong.
Jinan Cityscape
Distant views of the 'City of Springs' and its surrounding industrial and residential sprawl.
To avoid harsh glare, the left side is preferable for afternoon flights. Watch for Mount Tai roughly 30 minutes before arrival; it is the most prominent mountain on this side. Winter flights offer the best visibility of the mountain peaks against the horizon.
