Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most scenic transition from the coastal plains to the Yangtze River basin, featuring major lakes and a stunning aerial view of Wuhan's lake-filled urban landscape on arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Hongze Lake

One of the largest freshwater lakes in China, visible shortly after departure from Yancheng.

🏞️

Chaohu Lake

A massive lake near Hefei providing a beautiful blue contrast to the surrounding farmland.

🛶

Yangtze River Curves

Glimpses of the winding Yangtze River as the flight path parallels the waterway towards the southwest.

⛰️

Dabie Mountains

The southern ridges of this significant mountain range, offering rugged green terrain.

🏙️

Wuhan East Lake

The massive urban lake and surrounding skyline are often visible during the final descent into WUH.

Sit on the left to avoid direct southern sun glare during midday flights. For the best view of the 'Thousand Lakes' region of Hubei, try to book a flight during the golden hour before sunset when the water surfaces reflect the orange sky.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
💧

Huai River System

Views of the intricate canal and river networks that define the geography of northern Jiangsu.

🏔️

Northern Dabie Peaks

High-altitude views of the northern slopes of the Dabie Mountains as you cross into Anhui.

🏙️

Hefei Cityscape

The expanding urban center of Anhui province is usually visible to the north mid-flight.

🦆

Fuhe River Wetlands

Ecologically rich wetlands and floodplains located just north of Wuhan's Tianhe Airport.

The right side is excellent for seeing the transition from the flat agricultural plains of the north to the more mountainous regions. Watch for the distinct change in land usage and topography as you enter Anhui province.
