DSN โ CGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Ordos Ejin Horo Airport (Dongsheng) to Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Mu Us Desert's edge, the dramatic erosion patterns of the Loess Plateau, and the majestic Jinshaan Canyon of the Yellow River.
Mu Us Desert Edges
The sandy dunes and reclaimed green patches near the Ordos departure zone.
Loess Plateau Gullies
Intricate, ancient erosion patterns and traditional terraced farming unique to this region.
Jinshaan Canyon
The deep, winding gorge where the Yellow River carves through the Loess soil.
Mangshan Hills
The historical ridges overlooking the Yellow River just before landing at CGO.
Sit here for the best views of the Loess Plateau's unique geography. Afternoon flights offer the best contrast, highlighting the deep ridges and valleys. Watch for the 'Hukou Waterfall' area, though it may be distant depending on the exact airway.
Lรผliang Mountains
Rugged peaks and deep valleys of the Shanxi province mountain range.
Fen River Valley
A fertile agricultural corridor cutting through the heart of the central plateau.
Yellow River Bend
The sharp eastward turn of the Great River as it navigates the Shaanxi-Shanxi border.
Zhengzhou Skyline
The expanding urban sprawl and skyscrapers of Henan's capital on final approach.
Morning flights are ideal to avoid direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for the industrial infrastructure around Taiyuan as you pass to the west. On descent, look for the transition from rugged hills to the flat North China Plain.
