Which side of the plane to sit from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou) to Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior landmark visibility, including the historic city of Kaifeng and the magnificent Mount Tai, one of China's most sacred peaks.
Search flights from CGO to TNA
Ancient Kaifeng
Shortly after departure, view the historic layout of Kaifeng, one of the eight ancient capitals of China.
Mount Tai (Taishan)
The most significant landmark on the route; this UNESCO World Heritage peak rises dramatically from the plains south of Jinan.
Dongping Lake
A large, shimmering freshwater lake that marks the transition into the hilly terrain of western Shandong.
Jinan Urban Corridor
Excellent views of the expanding 'City of Springs' as the aircraft descends toward Yaoqiang Airport.
For the best view of Mount Tai, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. In winter, the snow-capped peak of Taishan is a rare and beautiful sight. The afternoon sun will be behind you on this side, making it ideal for glare-free photography of the landmarks.

Yellow River Meanders
View the iconic silty curves of the Huang He as the flight path parallels the river's northern banks.
Henan Farmlands
The vast, geometric patchwork of the North China Plain showcases China's agricultural heartland from above.
Liaocheng Water City
Look for the unique urban layout of Liaocheng, known for its large central lake and ancient city moats.
Sit on this side for softer lighting during morning flights. The Yellow River is most visible within the first 20 minutes of takeoff from Zhengzhou. Air quality over the plains can be hazy, so clear days following rain offer the best visibility for horizon-level details.
