Stunning views of the Victoria Harbour and the skyline if departing toward the east.
Fujian Coastline
Beautiful views of the rocky coastline and numerous islands along the Taiwan Strait.
Shanghai & East China Sea
Views of the bustling shipping lanes and the mouth of the Yangtze River near Shanghai.
Shandong Peninsula
The rugged eastern tip of China, including views of the coastal city of Qingdao.
Liaodong Peninsula
The scenic approach over the Bohai Sea and the hilly terrain of Dalian before reaching Shenyang.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the sun while enjoying the coastal scenery. The most scenic portion occurs in the final 45 minutes as you cross the Bohai Sea. In winter months, look for white ice floes along the northern coastline of the Liaodong Gulf as you begin your final descent into Shenyang.

Yangtze River Crossing

North China Plain
Vast stretches of organized agricultural land and the historic path of the Grand Canal.
Choose the left side for night flights to see the sprawling lights of mainland China's mega-cities. If flying during the late afternoon, this side provides the best sunset views over the inland mountain ranges. Keep an eye out for the distinct bends of the Yangtze River approximately halfway through the journey.
