Which side of the plane to sit from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing) to Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Qinling-Daba mountain systems and provides a clear view of the iconic Mount Tai during the descent into Jinan.
Daba Mountains
Experience the rugged karst topography and deep forest-covered ridges shortly after leaving the Chongqing basin.
Qinling Range
Glimpse the eastern fringes of China's great climate-dividing mountain range, often shrouded in a sea of clouds.
Mount Song
View the sacred mountain range home to the Shaolin Temple as the flight passes over the central Henan region.
Mount Tai (Taishan)
The highlight of the route; look for the majestic silhouette of this UNESCO World Heritage site roughly 15-20 minutes before landing.
Jinan City Skyline
A panoramic view of the 'City of Springs' as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach into Yaoqiang Airport.
Book a window seat on the right for morning flights to enjoy beautifully front-lit mountain scenery. Pay close attention during the last 40 miles of the flight; Mount Tai is unmistakable and best viewed from this side.
Jialing River
Catch views of the winding river valley and the northern suburbs of Chongqing immediately after departure.
Zhengzhou Horizon
On clear days, the sprawling metropolitan area of Zhengzhou and its surrounding high-speed rail hubs are visible to the north.
Yellow River Bends
Watch the massive silt-rich waters of the Yellow River as it meanders through the fertile North China Plain.
Agricultural Patterns
Detailed geometric patterns of Henan province's vast farmland, especially vibrant during the spring and harvest seasons.
The left side is prone to heavy glare during late afternoon flights as you head northeast. Keep your window shade partially down until reaching the North China Plain to better spot the Yellow River's distinctive color.
