Which side of the plane to sit from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing) to Liuting Airport (Qingdao)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior experience with views of the upper Yangtze basins, the massive Danjiangkou Reservoir, and a spectacular approach over Jiaozhou Bay featuring the world-famous bridge.
Upper Yangtze River
Aerial views of the winding Yangtze River as it carves through the mountainous terrain east of Chongqing.
Danjiangkou Reservoir
The massive, turquoise-colored source of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is a stunning mid-flight landmark.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
One of the longest cross-sea bridges in the world, visible as a thin white line spanning the blue bay during descent.
Qingdao Coastline
A panorama of golden beaches, busy shipping ports, and the unique red-roofed architecture of the old city.
This side is exceptional during the final 20 minutes of the flight. For the best view of the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, choose a seat behind the wing. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the Qingdao coastline and the bay, creating high-contrast views of the naval ports and city skyline.
Daba Mountains
Rugged, mist-covered peaks forming the natural border between the Sichuan Basin and the Han River valley.
Zhengzhou Skyline
Views of the sprawling provincial capital of Henan and its distinctive 'Corn' tower in the distance.
Yellow River
The meandering 'Mother River' of China is visible with its characteristic sediment-heavy golden hue.
Mount Tai
On clear days, the silhouette of this sacred mountain rises prominently from the North China Plain.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you when viewing the Daba Mountains. The Yellow River crossing occurs roughly 60-70 minutes after takeoff. For the best view of Mount Tai, look slightly forward and north as the plane enters Shandong province.
