Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Anqing Tianzhushan Airport (Anqing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the flight's namesake peak, Mount Tianzhu, and consistent views of the western mountain ranges and the meandering Yellow River crossing.
Taihang Mountains
The rugged eastern edge of the Loess Plateau is visible on the western horizon during the first half of the flight.
Yellow River Bridges
Look for the massive infrastructure projects spanning the Yellow River near the Henan-Shandong border.
Mount Tianzhu
The dramatic granite peaks and lush forests of Tianzhushan, the destination's namesake, appear during the descent.
Anqing Urban Center
A close-up view of the city's development and its proximity to the Yangtze River as the plane aligns for landing.
Anhui Tea Plantations
The rolling green hills characteristic of the Anhui province, dotted with traditional villages and tea farms.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Tianzhu. For the best photography, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the mountains from the west. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.
Beijing CBD
Aerial view of the iconic China Zun and the sprawling urban layout of Beijing immediately after takeoff.
Mount Tai
On clear days, the silhouette of Shandong's most sacred peak can be seen in the distance to the east.
Yellow River Delta
The massive, silt-heavy waters of the Huanghe as it winds through the North China Plain.
Huaihe River Basin
A complex network of canals and wetlands that define the geographical boundary between North and South China.
Yangtze River Bend
The northern banks of the Yangtze River come into view during the final descent into the Anqing region.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for capturing the initial departure over Beijing's skyline and the vast agricultural patterns of the central plains.
