Yinshan Mountain Range
Dramatic mountain ridges that define the border of the Mongolian Plateau visible shortly after takeoff from Hohhot.
Yan Mountain Great Wall
Serpentine sections of the Great Wall snaking across the high ridges of the Yan Mountains north of Beijing.
Old Dragon's Head
The iconic Shanhaiguan site where the Great Wall of China finally meets the waters of the Bohai Sea.
Qinhuangdao Port
A sprawling view of one of Northern China's most significant coal and cargo shipping hubs along the coast.
Liaodong Coastline
The rugged northern coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula as the aircraft aligns for the final approach into Dalian.
Book a window seat on the left for morning departures to have the sun behind you. This provides the best lighting for photographing the Great Wall and the mountain-to-sea transition at Shanhaiguan. Look down roughly 40-50 minutes into the flight for the mountain ridges.
