Which side of the plane to sit from Longjia Airport (Changchun) to Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Bohai Sea coastline, major industrial hubs of Liaoning province, and the sprawling port infrastructure as you approach Tianjin.
Changchun Urban Area
Aerial view of Jilin's capital and its sprawling automotive industrial zones immediately after takeoff.
Shenyang Skyline
A distant view of the major urban center of Liaoning province as the flight heads south-southwest.
Liaodong Gulf Coastline
Scenic views of the northernmost part of the Bohai Sea where the land meets the shallow coastal waters.
Binhai Salt Pans
Distinctive colorful geometric patterns of the massive salt evaporation ponds along the Tianjin coast.
Tianjin Port
The massive scale of one of the world's largest container ports during the final descent phase.
Sit behind the wing for the clearest views of the Binhai industrial complex. Afternoon flights are best for the left side as the sun is in the west, illuminating the coastline without glare. Watch for the massive wind turbines located both on and offshore near the Bohai Bay.
Northeast China Plain
Vast stretches of fertile agricultural land, showing beautiful green or golden hues depending on the season.
Liao River Basin
The winding path and tributaries of the Liao River as it flows toward the Bohai Sea.
Shanhaiguan Segment
Possibility of spotting where the Yanshan Mountains and the Great Wall meet the sea near Qinhuangdao.
Yanshan Mountains
The rugged terrain of the mountain range that forms the northern boundary of the North China Plain.
Tianjin City Center
The modern skyline of downtown Tianjin, including the CTF Finance Centre, during the western approach.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side to avoid the harsh glare of the afternoon sun. Keep your eyes peeled about 15-20 minutes before landing to spot the narrow corridor where the Great Wall ends at the sea. In winter, the frozen agricultural patterns provide a unique 'etched' look to the landscape.
