Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Nanyuan Airport (Beijing) to Changzhou Benniu Airport (Changzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of China's major freshwater lakes and the distant silhouettes of the Taihang Mountains and Mount Tai.
Taihang Mountain Range
On clear days, the western horizon is dominated by the distant, rugged peaks of the Taihang mountains.
Mount Tai (Taishan)
As you pass Jinan, look for the isolated and culturally significant peak of Mount Tai rising from the plains.
Hongze Lake
A spectacular view of China's fourth-largest freshwater lake, featuring a unique 'high lake' elevation profile.
Lake Taihu Basin
Beautiful views of the network of canals and smaller lakes surrounding the northern tip of Lake Tai near Changzhou.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the North China Plain. Keep an eye out for Hongze Lake roughly two-thirds through the flight, as it is a major geographic landmark.
Beijing Southern Corridor
Dense urban sprawl and the rapid development of the Daxing district transitioning into Hebei province.
Grand Canal Traces
Sections of the historic Jing-Hang Grand Canal visible as a winding artery through the North China Plain.
Agricultural Patchwork
Infinite geometric patterns of wheat and maize fields characteristic of the fertile Hebei and Shandong plains.
Yangtze River Crossing
A dramatic view of the wide Yangtze River and its massive suspension bridges during the descent phase.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is better for observing the dense infrastructure and the historic path of the Grand Canal as you approach the Yangtze River Delta.
