Which side of the plane to sit from Taiping Airport (Harbin) to Beijing Nanyuan Airport (Beijing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Yanshan Mountains, the Great Wall of China, and the expansive urban landscape of Beijing as you descend into the capital.
Shenyang Skyline
A clear view of the dense urban core and industrial heritage of Liaoning's capital city during the mid-flight segment.
Yanshan Mountains
Dramatic, rugged mountain ranges that serve as the natural northern shield for the Beijing metropolitan area.
The Great Wall
On clear days, sections of the Great Wall are visible snaking across the mountain ridges during the descent into Beijing.
Central Beijing View
As the plane approaches Nanyuan from the north, you can often spot the Olympic Park and the distant CBD skyscrapers.
The right side is premier for sunset flights, offering golden light over the mountains. For the best chance to see the Great Wall, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your downward view isn't blocked by the engine.
Songhua River Meanders
Vast agricultural plains of Heilongjiang and Jilin crisscrossed by the shimmering Songhua River tributaries.
Bohai Bay Coastline
Stunning aerial views of the northern Bohai Sea where the industrial ports of Liaoning meet the water.
Tianjin Binhai District
One of the world's largest logistics hubs with sprawling container terminals and massive cargo ships.
Sit on this side during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. In the autumn, keep an eye out for the distinct red hues of the Panjin Red Beach wetlands near the coast.
