Which side of the plane to sit from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing) to Ordos Ejin Horo Airport (Dongsheng)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse range of landmarks, including the high peaks of the central Qinling Mountains, the historic Wei River Valley, and the dramatic curves of the Yellow River as you approach the Ordos Plateau.
Chongqing Skyline
Spectacular views of the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers upon departure.
Mount Taibai
The highest peak in the Qinling range, often snow-capped even in late spring.
Wei River Valley
The fertile cradle of Chinese civilization near Xi'an, visible as a wide green belt.
Yellow River Bend
The massive, meandering loops of the Yellow River as it carves through the Loess Plateau.
Ordos Kangbashi
The ultra-modern architectural layout of the Ordos New District visible during the descent.
For the most dramatic experience, book an afternoon flight. The low sun illuminates the unique 'Loess' soil topography and provides a golden reflection on the Yellow River. Watch for the sharp transition from lush green mountains to the arid yellow plateau about 40 minutes into the flight.
Daba Mountains
Dense, mist-covered ridges forming the northern rim of the Sichuan Basin.
Western Qinling
The rugged western extension of China's primary north-south climate divider.
Mu Us Desert
The southern fringes of the desert showing successful afforestation and sand dunes.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look down early in the flight for the high-altitude terraced farming typical of northern Chongqing and southern Shaanxi provinces.
