ZUH → WUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Pearl River Delta upon departure, the rugged Nanling Mountains during the cruise, and an iconic approach over the Yangtze River into Wuhan.
Pearl River Delta Sprawl
Incredible density of Zhuhai, Zhongshan, and Guangzhou visible immediately after takeoff.
Mount Danxia
The world-famous red stone landforms of northern Guangdong near Shaoguan.
Nanling Mountain Range
The natural geographic border between the subtropics and temperate central China.
Yangtze River Confluence
The winding 'Golden Waterway' becomes the primary landmark during the descent into Wuhan.
Wuhan Bridges
Views of the massive bridges spanning the Yangtze, connecting Wuchang, Hanyang, and Hankou.
Sit on the right for the best urban views of Guangzhou during the climb. For the most dramatic arrival, the right side often looks directly down upon the Yangtze River and the Yellow Crane Tower district if the wind dictates a northern landing pattern at WUH. Morning flights are ideal to avoid direct glare.
Xijiang River Meanders
The massive waterway system cutting through western Guangdong's karst-like topography.
Mount Heng (Nanyue)
One of China's Five Great Mountains, visible as a prominent peak in central Hunan province.
Dongting Lake View
On clear days, the vast expanse of China's second-largest freshwater lake appears on the horizon.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to witness a spectacular sunset over the mountains of Hunan. During the northern approach into Wuhan, you might catch a glimpse of the western industrial districts and the Han River joining the Yangtze.
