Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Fuyang Xiguan Airport (Fuyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers iconic views of central Beijing's urban sprawl upon departure, the dramatic silhouette of the Taihang Mountains to the west, and a more direct view of the Yellow River crossing.
Beijing Landmarks
On clear days, catch glimpses of the Forbidden City, the Olympic Green, and the dense skyscrapers of the CBD.
Taihang Mountains
The rugged western horizon is defined by this massive mountain range, especially striking during winter or at sunset.
Daxing Airport (PKX)
View the massive 'Starfish' design of Beijing's newest international hub from high above during the initial cruise phase.
Fuyang Skyline
Excellent views of the Ying River and the developing urban core of Fuyang during the final descent into Xiguan Airport.
Prioritize the right side for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset against the Taihang Mountains. During the first 15 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the contrast between Beijing's urban density and the western mountains.
Beijing Sub-Center
Aerial views of the Tongzhou District and the beginning of the Grand Canal as the plane heads south.
North China Plain
Vast, intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and rural settlements across Hebei and Henan provinces.
Lower Yellow River
The winding, sediment-rich curves of the 'Mother River' of China as it flows toward the Bohai Sea.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the vast plains. It is generally quieter visually but provides a great sense of the scale of China's agricultural heartland.
