Yangtze River Delta
The flight tracks the early reaches of the Yangtze, showcasing massive bridges and heavy river traffic.
North China Plain
An endless patchwork of agricultural fields and dense urban clusters characteristic of central China.
Bohai Gulf Coastline
As the plane begins its descent, look for the industrial ports and wetlands along the Bohai Sea near Panjin.
Liao River Delta
The final approach offers views of the winding Liao River and the fertile black soil plains of Liaoning Province.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it remains in the shadow of the aircraft, reducing glare. During the descent into Shenyang, watch for the 'Red Beach' area if flying during autumn, as the coastal vegetation turns a vibrant crimson.
