Which side of the plane to sit from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou) to Jinzhou Airport (Jinzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular aerial tour of China's eastern coastline, featuring the Qiantang River, the expansive Yellow Sea, and the industrial beauty of the Bohai Sea oil fields before landing in Liaoning.
Qiantang River Estuary
Immediately after takeoff, witness the massive river mouth known for the world's largest tidal bore.
Yellow Sea Coastline
Follow the meeting point of the turquoise sea and the industrial ports of the eastern seaboard.
Qingdao & Jiaozhou Bay
A clear view of the iconic coastal city and the massive Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, one of the longest over-water bridges.
Bohai Sea Oil Rigs
As you cross the Bohai Sea, look for offshore drilling platforms dotted across the blue water.
Liaodong Bay Islands
Small, rugged islands and coastal aquaculture farms visible during the descent into Jinzhou.
Port of Jinzhou
The final approach offers views of the busy northern port and its massive container terminals.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to see the sunrise over the Yellow Sea. Keep your camera ready as you pass Qingdao; the bridge is a major landmark. During winter, look for sea ice forming in the northernmost reaches of Liaodong Bay.
Hangzhou Metropolitan Area
Aerial views of the northern Hangzhou districts and the sprawling urban development of the Yangtze River Delta.
The Grand Canal
Spot sections of the Jing-Hang Grand Canal, the world's longest artificial river, winding through Jiangsu Province.
Hongze Lake
A massive freshwater lake in Jiangsu known for its unique shape and importance to the regional ecosystem.
Mount Tai Silhouette
On clear days, the distant silhouette of one of China's Five Great Mountains can be seen far to the west.
North China Plain
Vast, geometric patterns of agricultural fields that change colors dramatically with the seasons.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while viewing the inland plains. Watch for the intricate network of canals and small lakes throughout the Jiangsu section of the flight.
