Which side of the plane to sit from Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang) to Liuting Airport (Qingdao)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Yangtze River basin, the vast Dongting Lake, and the most iconic approach over Jiaozhou Bay and the Qingdao coastline.
Dongting Lake
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, appearing as a massive silver mirror in the distance.
Yangtze River Crossing
A breathtaking view of the world's third-longest river as the flight path crosses the Hubei-Anhui border.
Dabie Mountains
Dense, forested mountain ridges that provide a stark contrast to the surrounding flat plains.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The world's longest cross-sea bridge is often visible during the final approach into Qingdao.
Qingdao Coast
A stunning mix of modern skyscrapers, red-tiled roofs, and the deep blue of the Yellow Sea.
This is the premier choice for coastal views. Aim for an afternoon flight to catch the sunlight reflecting off the Yellow Sea and Jiaozhou Bay. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of flight for the bridge and the city's unique architectural blend.
Guizhou Karst Peaks
Unique limestone formations and jagged green hills visible immediately after departing Guiyang.
Fanjing Mountain
Distal views of the sacred Buddhist peaks in the Wuling range if visibility is high.
Central Plains Tapestry
The intricate agricultural patchwork of Henan Province, showing diverse crop rotations.
Zhengzhou Skyline
Occasional views of the sprawling urban center and major railway hubs in central China.
Mount Tai
The silhouette of the most famous sacred mountain in China appearing on the horizon during descent.
Sit here if you prefer seeing the rugged interior mountains and the sheer scale of China's agricultural heartland. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun is behind you, illuminating the details of the ground clearly without glare.
