Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more scenic perspective of China's historical landscapes, including the majestic Mount Tai and a clearer view of the Yellow River's winding path through the North China Plain.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Mount Tai (Taishan)

The most famous of the Five Great Mountains of China is visible to the west shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🌊

Yellow River Crossing

A spectacular view of the 'Mother River' as the flight crosses its mid-to-lower reaches near Jinan.

🏙️

Jinan Cityscape

View the sprawling 'City of Springs' and its dense urban grid as you pass to the east of the city.

🏔️

Taihang Mountains

In the distance to the west, the rugged ridges of the Taihang range mark the edge of the Loess Plateau.

Book an 'A' seat for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, providing optimal lighting for photos of Mount Tai. The mountain is typically visible about 20-25 minutes after takeoff from Linyi. Look for the Yellow River roughly halfway through the flight duration.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏭

Zibo Industrial Hub

Large industrial complexes and the urban sprawl of Zibo are visible shortly after departure.

🏖️

Bohai Gulf Coastline

On very clear days, the distant coastline and maritime activity of the Bohai Sea can be seen to the northeast.

🏙️

Tianjin Binhai Area

The massive port and metropolitan development of Tianjin come into view during the descent phase.

🏢

Beijing CBD Approach

As the plane enters the PEK approach pattern from the south, the iconic skyscrapers of the CBD, including China Zun, are often visible.

The right side ('F' seat) is best for evening flights to catch the sunset over the horizon during the approach into Beijing. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the intricate canal systems and modern infrastructure surrounding the Tianjin-Beijing corridor.
