Choose a late afternoon flight to see the sun set over the mountains of Henan and Hubei. This side is particularly scenic during the descent into Wuhan Tianhe, as it often provides a panoramic view of the river-bisected city. Watch for the 'Nanyang Basin' transition where the mountains give way to lowlands.
