Yellow River Delta
A stunning view of the Yellow River meeting the Bohai Sea, often showing a clear line between yellow sediment and blue water.
Shengli Oil Field
Visible infrastructure and drilling platforms of one of China's largest oil production bases near Dongying.
Port of Tianjin
One of the world's busiest ports, featuring thousands of shipping containers and massive cargo vessels during the approach.
Binhai New Area
The futuristic skyline of Tianjin's coastal district, including the Tianjin CTF Finance Centre skyscraper.
This is the premier side for coastal photography. The most dramatic views occur in the final 20 minutes of the flight as the plane descends over the Bohai Bay. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the coastline without haze reflecting off the water.

Aerial view of Huai'an city and the intricate network of the Grand Canal shortly after departure.
Mount Tai Silhouette
In clear weather, the distant peak of Taishan, one of China's most sacred mountains, is visible to the west.
Jinan Cityscape
The sprawling capital of Shandong Province, known for its springs, can be spotted mid-flight.
HSR Corridors
The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway lines are often visible as distinct straight lines cutting through the plains.
Sit on the left if you are flying during the late afternoon to avoid direct sun glare. This side is better for spotting inland landmarks like the sacred Mount Tai, though clarity depends heavily on the seasonal air quality over the North China Plain.
