🌊

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.

Right Side Highlights

🌉

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.
