PEK → DOY
Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Dongying Shengli Airport (Dongying)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers iconic views of the Beijing skyline immediately after takeoff and a spectacular bird's-eye view of the Shengli Oilfield's unique industrial landscape upon arrival.
Beijing CBD
Shortly after departure, catch glimpses of the China Zun and other skyscrapers in Beijing's central business district.
Shengli Oilfield
China's second-largest oilfield, featuring thousands of 'nodding donkey' pumps and complex pipeline networks across the landscape.
Coastal Salt Pans
Brilliant geometric patterns of salt evaporation ponds that create a colorful, mosaic-like appearance from the air.
Yellow River Meanders
The final stretches of the Yellow River as it snakes through the sediment-rich plains toward the sea.
The right side is unbeatable for industrial photography; keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight to capture the density of the oil rigs. Afternoon flights provide the best light to see the shimmering salt pans.
Port of Tianjin
One of the world's largest man-made deep-water seaports, visible with its massive container terminals and logistics hubs.
Binhai New Area
The modern coastal skyline of Tianjin's economic center, featuring high-rise developments along the Bohai Sea.
Bohai Bay Coastline
The curve of the Bohai Sea where the muddy waters of the Yellow River influence the coastal colors.
Yellow River Delta Reserve
Vast wetlands and protected marshes that serve as a crucial migratory path for rare birds.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the eastern sun. Watch for the dramatic transition from the urban sprawl of Tianjin to the serene wetlands of the northern delta.
