Which side of the plane to sit from Dongying Shengli Airport (Dongying) to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Yellow River Delta at takeoff, the majestic peaks of the Daba Mountains mid-flight, and the iconic Yangtze River curves upon approach to Chongqing.
Yellow River Delta
Aerial view of the 'Yellow Dragon' meeting the Bohai Sea with distinct sediment-rich water patterns.
Mount Tai
On clear days, the silhouette of China's most sacred mountain is visible rising from the Shandong plains.
Daba Mountains
Dramatic limestone ridges and deep ravines as the flight crosses into the Sichuan Basin.
Yangtze River Bends
Massive, winding loops of the Yangtze River as it carves through the rugged terrain near Fuling.
Chongqing CBD
The dense skyscraper clusters of Jiefangbei and the Nan'an district reflected in the river during descent.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so the afternoon is better for photography. Watch closely during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers.
North China Plain
The vast, intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and canal networks across Henan province.
Qinling Range
Views of the northern slopes of the Qinling Mountains, the natural geographic boundary of China.
Jialing River
The emerald-colored waters of the Jialing River snaking through the hills north of Chongqing.
Jiangbei New Area
The rapid urban expansion and modern infrastructure of Chongqing's northern districts.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as you will have the sun behind you, illuminating the landscape perfectly. This side offers a clearer view of the Jialing River's distinct green tint compared to the brown Yangtze during the summer rainy season.
