Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Huangyan Luqiao Airport (Huangyan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of China's diverse topography, including the sacred Mount Tai and the dramatic transition from the North China Plain to the southern mountain ranges.
Mount Tai (Taishan)
The most famous of China's sacred mountains, rising prominently from the surrounding plains in Shandong.
Yellow River Crossing
A clear view of the silt-heavy, 'yellow' waters of China's second-longest river as it snakes toward the sea.
Nanjing Skyline
Aerial perspective of the ancient capital, including the massive Yangtze River Bridge and the Purple Mountain.
Lake Taihu
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, offering a vast expanse of water dotted with small fishing boats.
Tiantai Mountains
Lush, forested mountain peaks that characterize the approach into the Huangyan and Taizhou region.
Book a window seat on the right for the best landmark spotting. Mount Tai is the star attraction; look for it roughly 40-50 minutes into the flight. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Zhejiang mountain ranges without the sun glare.
Tianjin Urban Area
Expansive views of the Tianjin metropolis and its developing coastal industrial zones shortly after takeoff.
Bohai Bay Coastline
A glimpse of the western edge of the Bohai Sea and the busy shipping lanes entering major northern ports.
Grand Canal
Sections of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal visible as silver threads winding through the landscape.
Yangtze River Delta
The intricate network of waterways and dense urban clusters of the southern Jiangsu province.
Zhejiang Coastline
As the flight descends into Huangyan, the rugged coastline and small islands of the East China Sea appear.
The left side is excellent for catching the sunrise on early morning flights. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight for beautiful views of the Taizhou bay area and local aquaculture farms.
