Which side of the plane to sit from Hefei Luogang International Airport (Hefei) to Longjia Airport (Changchun)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular aerial views of the Bohai Sea crossing, the rugged coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the bustling maritime traffic near Dalian.
Bohai Sea Expanse
A lengthy crossing over the blue waters where the Yellow Sea meets the Bohai Gulf.
Miaodao Archipelago
A beautiful chain of islands visible in the middle of the Bohai Strait between Shandong and Liaoning.
Dalian Coastline
Views of the strategic Port of Dalian and the jagged edges of the Liaodong Peninsula.
Songliao Plain
The vast, fertile black soil agricultural lands that define the approach into Jilin Province.
This is the preferred side for morning flights to catch the sunrise reflecting off the sea. The highlight is the 20-minute window over the Bohai Strait; keep your camera ready for the island chains. As you approach Changchun, look for the intricate patterns of the Northeast's agricultural grids, which look particularly striking during the autumn harvest.
Hefei Urban Sprawl
Bird's-eye view of the rapidly expanding provincial capital and the nearby Chao Lake to the southeast.
Mount Tai
On clear days, the silhouette of China's most sacred mountain can be seen rising from the Shandong plains.
Yellow River Crossing
The distinct brown silt of the 'Mother River' as the flight path passes over the Jinan region.
Shenyang Skyline
Views of the massive industrial and commercial hub of Northeast China during the descent toward Changchun.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from the lush Anhui plains to the more rugged Shandong mountains. In winter, the transition to snow-covered landscapes is more pronounced on this inland side.
