Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Dongying Shengli Airport (Dongying)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Pearl River Delta upon departure and the unique geographical patterns of the Yellow River Delta and Bohai Sea coastline upon arrival.
Pearl River Estuary
Stunning views of the intricate river networks and bridges of the Greater Bay Area.
Poyang Lake Basin
Views toward China's largest freshwater lake area during the mid-flight segment.
Yangtze River Crossing
Observation of heavy vessel traffic on the 'Golden Waterway' near the Anhui region.
Yellow River Delta
The iconic meeting point where the silt-heavy Yellow River flows into the blue Bohai Sea.
Shengli Oil Field
The unique industrial landscape of one of China's largest oil fields during descent into Dongying.
The right side is the clear winner for the approach into Dongying. You can often see the distinct 'yellow and blue' water dividing line at the river mouth. For the best photography of the Delta wetlands, choose a window seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view during the descent.
Guangzhou Urban Hub
Aerial view of the dense urban sprawl and landmarks of Guangzhou shortly after takeoff.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged green peaks forming the natural boundary between Guangdong and central China.
Central Plains
The vast, geometric agricultural landscapes of the Henan and Anhui provinces.
Upper Yellow River
The winding path of the Yellow River as it snakes through the North China Plain.
Inland Sunset
Ideal views of the setting sun over the horizon on late afternoon flights.
Select the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Keep an eye out for the transition from the mountainous south to the flat North China Plain. The left side provides a consistent view of the changing topography of China's interior.
