Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Yancheng Airport (Yancheng)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the winding Yangtze River and the impressive urban density of the Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, including proximity to Chaohu Lake and the sprawling suburbs of Hefei.
Yangtze River Meanders
Observe the massive scale of the Yangtze as it flows toward the East China Sea, often visible shortly after departure.
Hefei Urban Core
Aerial views of the rapidly growing capital of Anhui, featuring dense skyscraper clusters and modern infrastructure.
Chaohu Lake
A stunning circular freshwater lake located just south of Hefei, often reflecting sunlight during midday flights.
Yangtze Delta Industrial Hubs
Dense clusters of manufacturing zones and logistics parks that signify the economic heart of the region.
Lower Yangtze Bridges
Spot the engineering marvels of massive suspension and cable-stayed bridges crossing the main river channel.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the Yangtze River. For afternoon flights, the southern view provides excellent lighting for photography of the water bodies and cityscapes. Look out for the transition from the rugged Hubei terrain to the flat, water-dominated landscapes of Jiangsu.
Dabie Mountains
View the northern ridges of this major mountain range that separates the Yangtze and Huai River basins.
Hongze Lake
As you descend toward Yancheng, look north to see the vast expanse of China's fourth largest freshwater lake.
Jiangsu Agricultural Grid
A dense network of irrigation canals and rectangular farming plots characteristic of the northern Jiangsu plains.
Huai River System
Intricate waterways and tributaries that feed into the massive flood control systems of eastern China.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get clear views of the Dabie Mountains. During the rainy season, watch for the distinct color changes in the wetlands of the Huai River basin.
