Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Hefei Luogang International Airport (Hefei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Taihang Mountain range and the winding Yellow River, providing a rugged contrast to the urban sprawl of the North China Plain.
Search flights from PEK to HFE
Taihang Mountains
Parallel ridgelines of the Taihang range create a dramatic western horizon for much of the cruise.
Xiongan New Area
View the massive scale of the 'City of the Future' construction site south of Beijing.
Yellow River S-Curves
The sediment-rich, yellow waters of the Huang He visible near the Henan and Shandong border.
Dabie Foothills
Emerging green hills and reservoirs as the aircraft descends toward the Yangtze-Huai divide.
Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the Taihang peaks from the east. The contrast between the flat plains and the sudden mountain wall is most visible about 20-30 minutes after takeoff. Keep your camera ready for the Yellow River crossing, which is a brief but spectacular landmark.
Book Hotels in Hefei
Beijing-Tianjin Corridor
Dense urban clusters and massive logistics hubs as you depart the capital region.
Grand Canal
Glancing views of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal snaking through Hebei.
Bohai Bay Horizon
On extremely clear days, the distant shimmer of the Bohai Sea is visible to the far east.
Huai River Crossing
The symbolic boundary between Northern and Southern China with its vast network of wetlands.
Choose an afternoon flight to avoid direct sun glare. Look for the distinct change in agriculture and water density as you cross the Huai River into Anhui province. Use a window seat behind the wing for the best perspective of the patchwork fields of the North China Plain.
