XFN → WUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Xiangyang Liuji Airport (Xiangfan) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Dahong Mountain range and the scenic transition from the foothills into the expansive Jianghan Plain.
Dahong Mountain Range
Observe the undulating ridges of the Dahong Mountains stretching across the northern horizon shortly after takeoff.
Suizhou City Skyline
A clear view of the urban layout of Suizhou, known as the hometown of Emperor Yan, nestled among the hills.
Baishui Reservoir
A beautiful turquoise water body located near the border of Suizhou and Anlu, offering high-contrast colors against the greenery.
Jianghan Plain Patchwork
The intricate mosaic of rice paddies and agricultural fields that define the fertile heart of Hubei Province.
Wuhan Northern Approach
Visuals of the Fuhe River wetlands as the plane descends toward the northern side of Tianhe International Airport.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while capturing the shadows on the Dahong Mountains. This side is also excellent for spotting the dense network of irrigation canals common in central China.
Han River Meanders
The winding path of the Han River, the largest tributary of the Yangtze, visible as it flows toward the southeast.
Zhongxiang Rural Landscapes
Views of the ancient agricultural regions around Zhongxiang, featuring traditional village clusters and farm plots.
Lake Districts of Xiaogan
As the flight nears Wuhan, numerous small lakes and fish ponds appear, reflecting the sky like shards of glass.
Jing-Zhu Expressway
The major transport artery connecting North and South China is often visible as a straight line cutting through the landscape.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset reflections off the Han River and the various lakes surrounding Wuhan. Because the flight is very short, keep your window shade up from takeoff to landing as cruising altitude is relatively low.
