Grand Canal
The world's longest artificial river, visible as a winding silver thread weaving through the Jiangsu plains.
Mount Tai
The most significant landmark on the route, this sacred peak rises dramatically from the flat North China Plain.
Ji'nan Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the 'City of Springs' and its dense urban development in central Shandong province.
Shandong Highlands
Rugged mountainous terrain that creates beautiful textures and shadows, especially during late afternoon flights.
Spot Mount Tai approximately 45 minutes into the flight; it is unmistakable as the highest point in the region. Late afternoon flights are ideal for this side to capture the sunset over the western mountains. High-altitude visibility is generally better on this inland side compared to the coastal haze.

Yangtze River
A massive, silt-laden expanse of water visible shortly after takeoff from Changzhou Benniu.
Bohai Bay Coast
The distant coastline where the North China Plain meets the yellow-tinted waters of the Bohai Sea.
Tianjin Skyline
The sprawling metropolis and distinctive high-rises of China's fourth-largest municipality during the descent.
Binhai Port Infrastructure
Massive industrial zones and shipping lanes visible near the coast as the plane turns toward Beijing.
This side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Use polarized sunglasses to better distinguish the coastline through the regional haze. Watch for the transition from the lush Yangtze Delta to the more industrial and arid northern landscapes.
