Shandong Peninsula
Vivid views of the rugged coastline and the city of Qingdao's distinctive red roofs and green trees if the path hugs the coast.
Yangtze River Mouth
A massive view of the silt-heavy Yangtze River meeting the sea, showcasing the scale of one of the world's largest drainage basins.
Wuyi Mountains
Rugged, mist-covered mountain terrain of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Shenzhen Skyline
An incredible close-up of the Ping An Finance Centre and the dense Nanshan District skyscrapers during the landing pattern.
The right side is superior for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft. It provides the best perspective of China's rapid urbanization. For the best photos of the Shenzhen skyline, hope for a northern approach (Landing on Runway 15/16).

Yellow Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and cargo ships navigating the busy shipping lanes between Korea and China.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A stunning collection of islands off the coast of Ningbo, visible as the flight transitions toward southern China.
Pearl River Delta
During the final descent, views of the sprawling industrial and natural waterways that define the region's geography.
Distal Hong Kong
On clear days during the southern approach, the skyline of Hong Kong can often be spotted in the distance to the southeast.
Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. It is particularly good for spotting the complex maritime traffic and the massive bridge projects connecting the eastern Chinese islands. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes before landing for the delta views.
