CGO → CGQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou) to Longjia Airport (Changchun)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Bohai Bay coastline, the industrial ports of North China, and the sprawling urban landscape of Shenyang.
Yellow River Meanders
The iconic 'Mother River' of China visible shortly after takeoff as it snakes toward the sea.
Bohai Bay Coastline
Observation of the massive shipping lanes and industrial ports near Tianjin and Tangshan.
Panjin Wetlands
The unique crimson landscapes of the Red Beach area visible during the descent over Liaoning.
Shenyang Cityscape
A clear view of the historic capital of Liaoning province, highlighting its blend of industrial and modern architecture.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to catch the sun reflecting off the Bohai Sea. In autumn, look for the distinct reddish hue of the Panjin wetlands. This side also offers better views of the major coastal infrastructure that defines the region's economy.
Zhengzhou Urban Area
Aerial view of the 'Green City' and its massive railway hubs shortly after departure from CGO.
Taihang Mountain Range
The rugged western horizon marks the edge of the North China Plain as the flight heads north.
Northern Great Wall
Potential views of the mountain-top fortifications north of the Beijing-Tianjin corridor.
Songliao Plain
The vast, fertile agricultural heartland of Northeast China stretching toward the horizon.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Keep a close eye out when passing the latitude of Beijing for glimpses of the high-altitude mountain ridges and ancient defensive walls.
