Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Bohai Bay coastline and the expansive lake systems of the Jiangsu province during the descent phase.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Tianjin Urban Area

Aerial perspective of the massive industrial and residential sprawl of Northern China's key port city.

🌊

Bohai Bay Coast

Stunning views of the coastline where the North China Plain meets the sea shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🛶

Yellow River Delta

The winding lower reaches of the Yellow River as it approaches its eastern terminus.

💧

Hongze Lake

One of China's largest freshwater lakes, appearing as a massive blue sapphire amidst the green plains.

🦆

Gaoyou Lake Wetlands

A scenic lake area in central Jiangsu known for its biodiversity and intricate water networks.

Book an early morning flight for the best lighting over the lakes. Seat yourself ahead of the wing (Rows 6-12) to ensure an unobstructed view of the Bohai coastline. During winter, look for ice formations along the northern shorelines.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏘️

South Beijing Districts

Detailed views of the Daxing and Tongzhou districts' rapid development during the initial climb.

🌾

North China Plain

A vast, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields stretching to the horizon, changing color by season.

⛰️

Distant Mount Tai

On exceptionally clear days, the silhouette of this sacred mountain is visible to the far west near Jinan.

🚢

Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal

Portions of the world's longest artificial river visible as a silver thread through the landscape.

🏞️

Luoma Lake

A beautiful reservoir near Suqian that marks the transition into the wetter climate of southern Jiangsu.

Evening flights provide a spectacular sunset over the North China Plain. Right-side passengers should watch for the dense network of high-speed rail lines that parallel much of this flight path. Mount Tai visibility is rare and requires a seat behind the wing to look back westward.
