Which side of the plane to sit from Changzhi Airport (Changzhi) to Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic northern Taihang Mountain range upon departure and provides better views of the Hebei provincial capital and the approaching Tianjin skyline.
Taihang Mountain Ridges
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep canyons visible immediately after takeoff from Changzhi.
Shijiazhuang Cityscape
The dense urban sprawl and industrial zones of Hebei's capital city during the mid-flight transition.
Baiyangdian Lake
The largest freshwater lake in Northern China, appearing as a complex network of reeds and water channels.
Tianjin Central District
A clear view of the iconic Tianjin Radio and Television Tower and the Goldin Finance 117 skyscraper on approach.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Taihang Mountains. During the winter months, the snow-dusted ridges provide exceptional contrast against the deep valleys.
North China Plain
A vast, flat expanse of agricultural patchwork that changes color significantly between harvest seasons.
Industrial Corridor
Numerous smaller manufacturing hubs and power plants that characterize the heavy industry of the region.
Haihe River Delta
The winding path of the Haihe River as it snakes toward the Bohai Sea near the end of the journey.
Tianjin Binhai View
Glimpses of the massive port facilities and shipping containers if the flight takes a southern approach vector.
The right side is prone to glare during afternoon flights. Watch for the intricate irrigation patterns on the plains below, which are most visible during the spring planting season when fields are flooded.
