HRB â YNZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiping Airport (Harbin) to Yancheng Airport (Yancheng)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of urban landmarks, the crossing of the Bohai Sea, and the transition into the lush waterway networks of the Jiangsu province.
Shenyang Metro Area
A clear view of the dense urban layout and industrial heart of Northeast China's Liaoning province.
Bohai Sea Crossing
Aerial perspective of the narrowest point between the Liaoning and Shandong peninsulas.
Shandong Highlands
Rugged mountain terrain and rolling hills that dominate the central part of the Shandong province.
Jiangsu Water Networks
The intricate mosaic of ponds, rivers, and the historic Grand Canal system near Yancheng.
Agricultural Patchwork
Vast stretches of organized farmland that change colors dramatically between the summer green and autumn gold.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight while capturing the detail of the North China Plain. During the middle of the flight, keep your eyes peeled for the crossing over the Bohai Sea, which provides a striking visual contrast between the rugged coastline and the deep blue water.
Songhua River Bends
Meandering river patterns visible shortly after takeoff from Harbin's fertile plains.
Dalian Peninsula
The eastern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula and the busy shipping lanes of the Yellow Sea.
Red-Crowned Crane Reserve
The vast coastal wetlands of Yancheng, a UNESCO heritage site for migratory birds.
Yellow Sea Maritime Traffic
Frequent sightings of large cargo vessels and fishing fleets in the open water.
Morning Glow
Excellent sunrise views over the horizon on early morning departures from Harbin.
Choose this side for early morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Yellow Sea. As you approach Yancheng, look closely at the coastline for the distinct color changes in the salt marshes and tidal flats, which are best seen during the spring and autumn migratory seasons.
