Which side of the plane to sit from Sunan Shuofang International Airport (Wuxi) to Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for China's most iconic freshwater lakes and the legendary peaks of Huangshan. As the aircraft tracks southwest, passengers on the left enjoy prime views of Lake Tai followed by the dramatic topography of southern Anhui and the expansive waters of Poyang Lake.

Lake Tai (Taihu)
Immediately after departure from WUX, enjoy a panoramic view of China's third-largest freshwater lake, known for its limestone islands.
Huangshan Mountains
Mid-flight, witness the granite peaks and jagged ridgelines of the 'Yellow Mountains,' a UNESCO World Heritage site often shrouded in sea-of-clouds.
Mount Jiuhua
One of the four sacred Buddhist mountains of China, identifiable by its numerous temples perched along the steep ridges.
Poyang Lake
The largest freshwater lake in China, visible as a vast blue expanse or a network of wetlands depending on the season.
Gan River Delta
Observe the intricate waterways and agricultural mosaics where the Gan River feeds into the Yangtze basin.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight; the sun will be behind the aircraft or high enough to illuminate the peaks of Huangshan without creating harsh glare. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of takeoff to capture the full scale of Lake Tai. During autumn, the contrast between the blue water and the changing foliage on the mountains is particularly striking.

Yangtze River (Chang Jiang)
The route parallels this massive waterway, offering views of heavy barge traffic and massive bridge engineering projects.
Nanjing Outskirts
Distant views of the sprawling urban landscape and high-rise clusters of the historic southern capital.
Dabie Mountains
To the northwest, the horizon is dominated by the rugged, forested slopes of this major mountain range bordering Anhui and Hubei.
Dongting Lake (Distant)
On the approach to Changsha, the northern horizon reveals the edges of this legendary flood-basin lake.
Changsha Skyline
As the plane banks for landing at CSX, the right side often catches a glimpse of the Xiang River and the city's modern skyscrapers.
Choose a window seat on the right for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look for the massive industrial parks and the distinct meandering path of the Yangtze River roughly 20 minutes into the flight. On the final descent into CSX, watch for the Xiang River, which bisects Changsha and provides a beautiful urban backdrop.
