Which side of the plane to sit from Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo) to Beijing Nanyuan Airport (Beijing)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of China's iconic inland landmarks, including the sacred Mount Tai and the expansive Taihu Lake, providing a richer geographic experience.
Lake Tai
A massive freshwater lake near Suzhou featuring several scenic islands and a vast shimmering surface.
Mount Tai
One of the Five Great Mountains of China, standing as a prominent geological landmark in Shandong Province.
Yellow River
The iconic 'Mother River' of China, visible as a wide, silt-heavy waterway winding across the plain.
Nanjing Distance View
Distant views of the historic capital city and the Yangtze River during the mid-flight cruise.
Book a left-side window for late afternoon flights to witness the sun setting over the North China Plain. Keep an eye out about 45 minutes into the flight for the distinctive peak of Mount Tai emerging from the clouds.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
A breathtaking aerial view of the S-shaped trans-oceanic bridge crossing the bay shortly after takeoff.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port
Unmatched views of the massive container terminals and heavy maritime traffic of the world's busiest port.
Shanghai Skyline
On clear days, the towers of the Lujiazui financial district are visible to the east during the early cruise phase.
Bohai Bay Coastline
The industrial ports and coastal wetlands of the Bohai Sea near the approach into the Beijing-Tianjin corridor.
The right side is ideal for morning departures to capture the sunrise over the East China Sea. Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff, as the Hangzhou Bay Bridge appears very quickly.
