Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most iconic landmarks of Eastern China, including an immediate view of Poyang Lake after takeoff and a clear perspective of the sacred Mount Tai in Shandong province.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
💧

Poyang Lake

Spectacular views of China's largest freshwater lake and its intricate wetland systems shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Mount Tai (Taishan)

One of China's 'Five Great Mountains' and a UNESCO World Heritage site, rising prominently from the plains.

🚢

Tianjin Port

The massive shipping infrastructure and container terminals of one of the world's busiest ports.

🌊

Bohai Bay Coastline

The transition from the North China Plain to the turquoise and grey waters of the Bohai Sea during the final descent.

The right side is best for afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, beautifully illuminating Mount Tai. Be ready within the first 10 minutes of flight for the best views of Poyang Lake. During the descent into Tianjin, the right side provides a superior view of the Binhai New Area's skyline and the vast salt pans along the coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

Yangtze River Crossing

A dramatic crossing of the Yangtze River near the border of Jiangxi and Anhui provinces.

⛰️

Dabie Mountains

Rolling green peaks and ridges visible as the flight traverses the border of Anhui and Hubei.

🏙️

Jinan Cityscape

Aerial views of the 'City of Springs' and the surrounding mountainous terrain of western Shandong.

🌉

Yellow River Meanders

The distinct, sediment-heavy waters of the Yellow River winding through the North China Plain.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep an eye out for the massive industrial parks and logistics hubs that characterize the Yangtze River corridor. In winter, the northern sections of the route may offer views of snow-covered plains in Shandong.
