Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the transitioning terrain, including the Shenyang urban area, the eastern edge of the Taihang Mountains, and a clearer perspective of the Yellow River during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Changchun City

A comprehensive view of the Jilin provincial capital's parks and urban grid shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Shenyang Skyline

Aerial perspective of the massive industrial and commercial hubs of Liaoning's capital city.

⛰️

Taihang Mountains

The rugged western horizon features the foothills and peaks of the Taihang range as you head south.

🌊

Yellow River Crossing

A dramatic view of the massive, sediment-rich Yellow River as the aircraft begins its descent into Henan.

⛰️

Mount Song Foothills

Views of the mountainous terrain near the historic Shaolin Temple area during the final approach to CGO.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the Taihang Mountains to the west. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the iconic Yellow River crossing, which is a major geographic landmark on this route.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌾

Songliao Plain

Expansive views of the geometric agricultural patterns that define Northeast China's 'breadbasket'.

🌊

Bohai Bay Coastline

Distant views of the Liaoning coastline and the industrial shipping corridors of the northern Bohai Sea.

🏙️

Tianjin Outskirts

Visuals of the dense urban expansion and satellite cities surrounding the Tianjin municipality.

🐉

Yellow River Delta

Observations of the silty, winding channels where the Yellow River flows toward the sea.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the vast network of wind farms and coastal infrastructure in the Hebei and Shandong border regions.
