DOY → PEK
Which side of the plane to sit from Dongying Shengli Airport (Dongying) to Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a striking view of the Bohai Sea coastline and the industrial scale of the Tianjin port, contrasted with the Yellow River's sediment plumes.
Yellow River Estuary
The dramatic meeting point where the silty river water flows into the Bohai Sea near Dongying.
Tianjin Binhai Port
Aerial views of one of the world's largest logistics hubs and massive container terminals.
Tianjin Skyline
The distant but recognizable skyscrapers of Tianjin central business district as the plane turns inland.
Hai River System
The winding waterways that navigate through the industrial landscape toward the coast near the capital.
For the best experience, fly during the morning to have the sun behind you for clearer photos. Look out immediately after takeoff from DOY to see the distinct yellow sediment in the water. Keep an eye out for large cargo ships queuing near the port of Tianjin.
North China Plain
Expansive agricultural grids stretching across the heart of northern China.
Langfang Urban Area
A dense urban corridor serving as a vital link between Tianjin and Beijing.
Sunset Horizon
Optimal for evening flights to see the sun dip below the flat western horizon.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while still enjoying the sunset colors. It is the best side for observing the massive scale of Beijing's southern expansion and the dense residential clusters.
