Which side of the plane to sit from Longjia Airport (Changchun) to Hefei Luogang International Airport (Hefei)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the coastal transition between the Northeast and the central plains, featuring the Bohai Sea and significant lake systems near the destination.
Bohai Sea Coastline
Dramatic views of the coastline where the North China Plain meets the sea, often showing vibrant blue-green water transitions.
Liaohe Delta Wetlands
Complex patterns of river branches and wetlands near Panjin, famous for their unique seasonal colors.
Hongze Lake
As you enter the lower Huai River basin, the massive expanse of this freshwater lake provides a stunning geographic marker.
East Coast Ports
Aerial perspectives of the industrial shipping lanes and coastal infrastructure along the Shandong Peninsula's eastern edge.
For the best experience, book an early morning flight to see the sunrise over the Yellow Sea. The glare is minimal after mid-morning. Look for the distinct 'red beach' area near Panjin if flying during the autumn months.
Tianjin-Beijing Corridor
On clear days, the dense urban landscape of northern China's industrial heartland is visible to the far west.
North China Plain
An endless patchwork of agricultural fields showing the rhythmic beauty of China's primary grain-producing region.
Yellow River Crossing
The flight path crosses the silt-rich, golden-hued waters of the Yellow River as it meanders through Shandong province.
Dabie Mountain Foothills
Approaching Hefei, the flat plains begin to give way to the undulating green hills and ridges of the northern Dabie range.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. It offers the best view of the inland urban sprawl and the impressive scale of Chinese agricultural development. Keep a close eye out for the Yellow River's distinctive color.
