Which side of the plane to sit from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou) to Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of China's inland landmarks, including the sprawling Taihu Lake and the majestic Mount Tai in Shandong province.
Hangzhou Skyline
Aerial views of the Qiantang River and the modern CBD during departure.
Taihu Lake
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Mount Tai
The most famous of the Five Great Mountains of China, standing out in the Shandong landscape.
Yellow River Meanders
The distinctive silty waters of the Huanghe as the flight crosses into northern China.
Tianjin Western Suburbs
Dense urban planning and the Hai River winding through the city on final approach.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Mount Tai mid-flight. For afternoon flights, this side may face the sun, so keep your window shade adjusted to manage glare while spotting the Grand Canal path.
Yangtze River Delta
A complex network of canals and industrial hubs north of Hangzhou.
Yangtze River Crossing
Views of massive container ships and engineering marvels like the Sutong Bridge.
Bohai Bay Coastline
The glittering horizon of the Bohai Sea as the aircraft nears the Tianjin-Hebei region.
Port of Tianjin
One of the world's largest man-made ports with thousands of shipping containers.
Binhai New Area
Modern architecture and industrial zones of Tianjin's coastal economic engine.
The right side is excellent for morning flights as the sun rises over the Bohai Sea. Look out for the massive industrial clusters near the coast during the descent into TSN.
