Yellow River Crossing
A spectacular view of the 'Mother River' of China as it snakes through the Henan landscape shortly after departure.
Bohai Bay Coastline
The flight path often tracks the coastline near Tangshan and Qinhuangdao, offering views of the sea and busy ports.
Liaodong Gulf
Views of the northernmost waters of the Bohai Sea, often filled with cargo ships heading toward major northern ports.
Songhua River Meanders
Intricate river patterns and wetlands of the Songhua River as the aircraft aligns for the final approach into Harbin.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while capturing the coastal glitter of the Bohai Sea. In winter, look for the frozen sections of the Yellow River and the ice floes in the Liaodong Gulf. The final approach provides the best views of Harbin's river-integrated geography.

Vast stretches of modular agricultural fields that characterize the fertile plains of Northeast China.
Sit on the left for better views of the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. During the winter, look for the stark contrast between the industrial cities and the snow-covered inland plains. Keep an eye out for the urban sprawl of Changchun during the descent phase.
