FUG → PEK
Which side of the plane to sit from Fuyang Xiguan Airport (Fuyang) to Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Taihang Mountain range and the rugged terrain of the Western Hills as you approach the capital.
Fuyang Departure
View of the Ying River and the urban layout of Fuyang city shortly after takeoff.
Yellow River Crossing
The massive, silt-laden Yellow River winding through the North China Plain.
Taihang Mountains
A long, spectacular view of the rugged mountain range that forms the boundary of the Loess Plateau.
Shijiazhuang Skyline
The dense urban center of Hebei's provincial capital visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Beijing Western Hills
The scenic Xishan area, featuring lush ridges and historical sites, during the descent into PEK.
Book a window seat on the left for afternoon flights to get the best illumination on the Taihang Mountains. On clear days during the descent, you may catch a glimpse of the Great Wall snaking through the peaks to the northwest of Beijing.
North China Plain
A vast expanse of geometric agricultural fields and rural townships characteristic of the region.
Huai River Basin
The intricate network of canals and tributaries that define the water-rich landscape of northern Anhui.
Yellow River Infrastructure
Spot major bridge crossings and industrial developments along the river's eastern stretch.
Tianjin Outskirts
Distant views of the sprawling industrial and residential developments toward the Bohai Gulf.
Beijing Metropolis
An expansive view of the capital's modern architecture and dense ring roads during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh sun. It provides a superior perspective of the vastness of the North China Plain. Keep an eye out for the rapid transition from rural farmland to the high-density skyscrapers of Beijing as you land.
