Dalian Port
A comprehensive view of the northern city's busy docks and container terminals shortly after takeoff.
Caofeidian District
The incredible sight of a massive industrial base built entirely on reclaimed land extending into the sea.
Liaodong Gulf Coastline
Follow the curvature of northern China's coastline as the plane skirts the edge of the Bohai Sea.
Tianjin Port Hub
One of the world's busiest man-made ports, featuring hundreds of cranes and massive container ships.
TEDA Development Zone
The dense industrial and residential layout of the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area.
The right side is best for observing the sheer scale of China's coastal infrastructure. For the best visibility of the Caofeidian reclaimed islands and the Tianjin Port, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the coast from the east. This side also avoids direct glare for most of the short journey, making it better for photography.

Deep blue waters of the Bohai Sea with numerous cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy maritime lanes.

The futuristic skyline of the Binhai New Area, often called the 'Manhattan of the East,' visible on final approach.
Sit on the left if you enjoy watching the play of sunlight on the water. During late afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can create a beautiful shimmer on the sea but may require closing the window shade if it's too bright. Look for the distinct color changes in the salt evaporation ponds as you near Tianjin.
