LYG → NAY
Which side of the plane to sit from Lianyungang Airport (Lianyungang) to Beijing Nanyuan Airport (Beijing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Bohai Sea coastline, the massive industrial ports of Tianjin, and a better perspective of the eastern Beijing skyline upon descent.
Haizhou Bay
Immediately after departure, witness the transition from the city of Lianyungang to the shimmering waters of the Yellow Sea.
Bohai Bay Coastline
Follow the sweeping curve of the coast, seeing where the land meets the shallow, silt-rich waters of the northern bay area.
Tianjin Binhai New Area
Observe one of the world's largest port complexes and the dense skyscraper clusters that define this maritime economic hub.
Beijing Skyline
On the final approach to Nanyuan, this side often catches the distant silhouette of the Beijing CBD and the historic urban core.
The best views occur mid-flight when paralleling the Bohai Bay. Early morning flights are ideal as the rising sun reflects off the sea and the glass towers of Tianjin. Note that Nanyuan is south of the city, so eastern views are most prominent during landing.
Yuntai Mountain
Looming just west of Lianyungang, these peaks are famous for their mystical fog and coastal proximity visible shortly after takeoff.
Shandong Agricultural Heart
The geometric patchwork of the North China Plain creates a mesmerizing green and gold quilt-like pattern across the landscape.
Cangzhou Cityscape
A major hub on the Grand Canal, visible as a dense urban cluster amidst the sprawling agricultural plains of northern China.
Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. During the winter, look for the unique frost patterns across the inland farmlands which highlight the irrigation canals.
