Mount Tai
Glimpse the rugged peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site and sacred Taoist mountain rising from the North China Plain.
Jinan Cityscape
View the 'City of Springs' and its dense urban center as you fly over the heart of Shandong province.
Taihang Mountains
During the descent into Beijing, the western horizon is dominated by the steep, folded ridges of this massive mountain range.
Beijing Suburbs
As the plane banks for its final approach, enjoy a sprawling view of the rapidly developing northern districts and satellite towns.
Opt for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains in the west. Keep a close watch about 45-50 minutes into the flight for Mount Tai. If the flight enters Beijing from the northwest, the left side offers a higher chance of spotting sections of the Great Wall near the Ming Tombs.

Yangtze River Crossing
Shortly after takeoff from CZX, witness the massive scale of the Yangtze River as it winds through the fertile Jiangsu delta.
Yellow River
Identify the distinctive sediment-rich, brownish waters of the Yellow River as the flight crosses into northern China.
Bohai Sea Coastline
On clear days, see the distant glimmer of the Bohai Sea and the industrial ports of the Tianjin-Tanggu area.
Tianjin Metropolis
A grand view of the sprawling megacity of Tianjin, characterized by its unique architecture and the Haihe River loops.
The right side is excellent for morning flights to avoid direct glare. Look for the massive industrial parks and logistics hubs of the Jing-Jin-Ji megalopolis. During smog-free days in autumn, the contrast between the yellow waters of the river and the surrounding agriculture is particularly striking.
