Which side of the plane to sit from Longjia Airport (Changchun) to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Northeast China Plain to the rugged Loess Plateau and the majestic Qinling Mountains, which serve as China's natural north-south divide.

Taihang Mountains
Rugged, steep mountain ridges that define the edge of the Loess Plateau.
Loess Plateau
Highly distinctive eroded landscapes and terraced farming unique to northern China.
Yellow River Meanders
The middle reaches of the Yellow River as it winds through deep valleys.
Qinling Mountains
The massive, snow-capped range that marks the climatic boundary between northern and southern China.
Jialing River Valley
The winding river path that leads directly into the heart of the Sichuan Basin.
Chongqing Skyline
Stunning views of the 'Mountain City' and its skyscrapers nestled between the Yangtze and Jialing rivers.
The right side is essential for seeing the Qinling Mountains. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight; the western sun creates deep shadows that emphasize the dramatic topography of the Loess Plateau and mountain ridges. Watch for the sudden change from dry, brown landscapes to lush green valleys as you cross into the Sichuan Basin.

North China Plain
Vast stretches of agricultural patchwork across the Hebei and Henan provinces.
Yellow River Crossing
View of the lower reaches of the 'Mother River' cutting through the plains.

Distant views of the eastern mountain ranges as the flight heads south-southwest.
Chongqing Outskirts

Opt for an early morning flight to see the North China Plain illuminated by the rising sun. This side is better for viewing the vastness of the plains, but visibility can sometimes be hampered by regional haze in the winter months.
