Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an exceptional vantage point for the Danjiangkou Reservoir and the spectacular descent over the Yellow River Delta where silt-heavy waters meet the Bohai Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🛶

Three Gorges Hinterland

Rugged karst topography and mountain ridges situated north of the Yangtze River gorges.

💧

Danjiangkou Reservoir

A massive, turquoise-colored artificial lake that serves as a key source for water diversion projects.

⛰️

Songshan Mountain

The central sacred mountain of China and home to the Shaolin Temple, visible as a prominent massif.

🌊

Yellow River Delta

Breathtaking aerial views of the yellow, sediment-rich water branching into the sea.

🏭

Shengli Oilfield

A unique industrial landscape of oil rigs, pipelines, and salt evaporation pans near Dongying.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. The highlight is the landing approach into DOY; keep your camera ready for the braided channels of the Yellow River and the vibrant colors of the coastal wetlands.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
⛰️

Daba Mountains

Dramatic limestone peaks and deep river valleys located just north of Chongqing.

🌲

Qinling Range

The massive ecological and climatic boundary separating North and South China.

🏙️

Luoyang Skyline

Distinguished views of one of China's Four Great Ancient Capitals on the southern bank of the Yellow River.

🌾

North China Plain

A vast, flat patchwork of agricultural fields that dominates the mid-to-late cruise phase.

🏙️

Jinan Cityscape

The provincial capital of Shandong, known as the 'City of Springs,' visible to the north before descent.

Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Qinling Mountains. During the cruise phase, look for the sharp transition from the rugged mountains of Shaanxi into the perfectly flat North China Plain.
