CGQ → NKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Longjia Airport (Changchun) to Nanjing Lukou Airport (Nanjing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for observing the transition from the Northeast China Plain to the Bohai Bay coastline, and finally the spectacular crossing of the Yangtze River during the descent into Nanjing.

Songliao Plain
The vast, organized agricultural patterns of Jilin province immediately after departure from Changchun.
Liaohe Oil Field
A unique industrial landscape near Panjin featuring dense clusters of derricks and infrastructure near the Bohai Bay.
Central Shandong Mountains
Distant silhouettes of the Taiyi mountain range, including the historic Mount Tai, visible on clear days.
Yangtze River Crossing
A breathtaking view of the massive Yangtze River and its network of bridges just before the final approach into NKG.
Sit on the right for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight when the plane crosses the Yangtze River; the scale of the river and the surrounding wetlands is best captured from this side. Look for the urban sprawl of Jinan mid-flight.

Bohai Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and maritime shipping lanes as the flight leaves the Liaoning coast.
Shandong Peninsula
Aerial perspective of the rugged eastern coastline and the port cities of Yantai and Weihai.
Lianyungang Coastline
The scenic meeting point of the Yellow Sea and the Jiangsu province coastal industrial zones.
Choose this side for early morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Yellow Sea. During clear winter days, the contrast between the frozen coastline in the north and the open water is striking. Keep an eye out for wind farms situated along the Jiangsu coast during the descent.
