PEK → DDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Dandong Airport (Dandong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the Bohai Sea coastline, major industrial ports, and the dramatic international border scenery along the Yalu River during the descent into Dandong.
Bohai Bay
Expansive views of the sparkling inner sea and the heavy maritime traffic heading toward Tianjin.
Caofeidian Port
Witness massive industrial land reclamation and port infrastructure along the Tangshan coastline.
Qinhuangdao Coast
The famous golden sand beaches of Beidaihe, a historic summer retreat for government officials.
Yalu River Border
The winding river that serves as the international border between China and North Korea.
The best choice for afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the coastline. On clear days, the final descent provides a fascinating perspective of the contrast between the city of Dandong and Sinuiju on the North Korean side.
Yanshan Range
Rugged peaks and deep valleys north of the capital city visible shortly after takeoff.
Great Wall Scenery
Distant views of the ancient stone fortifications winding through the Gubeikou and Simatai ridges.
Songliao Plain
Vast expanses of structured agricultural land characteristic of the Northeast China hinterland.
Phoenix Mountain
The jagged, iconic peaks of Fenghuangshan appearing as the flight prepares for its final approach.
Ideal for morning flights to avoid sun glare. Focus your attention out the window during the first 15 minutes to spot the Great Wall and the last 10 minutes for the mountainous terrain of eastern Liaoning.
