Dalian Port City
Clear views of the Liaodong Peninsula tip and the busy industrial harbor of Dalian.
Shandong Peninsula
The mountainous terrain around Qingdao and the jagged coastline of the Yellow Sea's western rim.
Yangtze River Mouth
The incredible sight of brown, sediment-rich river water mixing with the blue sea near Shanghai.
Fujian Coastline
A complex network of islands, bays, and aquaculture farms along the southeastern Chinese coast.
Taoyuan Coastline
As the plane turns for final approach, the wind turbines and wetlands of northwestern Taiwan are visible.
This is the 'scenic side' for landmarks. For the best photography, choose an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Chinese coastline. Look specifically for the 'silt line' where the Yangtze River meets the ocean—it is one of the most distinct geographic boundaries visible from cruise altitude.

Yellow Sea Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue waters of the Yellow Sea and East China Sea.
Korean Peninsula Silhouette
On very clear days, the distant western coastline of the Korean Peninsula can be seen on the horizon.
East China Shipping Lanes
High-altitude views of massive cargo vessels and tankers navigating towards major global ports.
Northern Taiwan Peaks
The lush, volcanic mountains of Yangmingshan National Park appear during the final approach into Taoyuan.
Choose this side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Pacific horizon. It is generally quieter visually, making it better for those who prefer the calm of the open sea. During the descent, keep an eye out for the rugged coastline of Keelung and northern Taiwan.
