Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Lianyungang Airport (Lianyungang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Bohai Bay coastline, the dramatic sediment-filled Yellow River Delta, and the busy maritime activities of Lianyungang's deep-water port on approach.
Tianjin Binhai Area
View the sprawling industrial port and coastal urban development of Tianjin shortly after departure.
Bohai Bay Coastline
Follow the curve of the coastline where the North China Plain meets the shallow waters of the Bohai Sea.
Yellow River Delta
Observe the intricate patterns of the Yellow River Delta near Dongying, characterized by unique wetland formations.
Laizhou Bay
Aerial perspective of the wide coastal indentation separating the central coast from the Shandong Peninsula.
Lianyungang Port
Spectacular views of one of China's largest sea ports and the iconic 'Silk Road' bridge during the descent.
Choose a window seat on the left (A) for the best coastal views. The Yellow River Delta is most striking mid-flight; look for the distinct transition from brown river sediment to blue sea water. Evening flights provide beautiful reflections off the Bohai Sea.
Beijing Cityscape
Panoramic views of the capital city's southern districts and the massive Daxing Airport if the path stays inland.
North China Plain
A vast tapestry of agricultural fields and dense village clusters stretching to the horizon.
Mount Tai Silhouette
On clear days, the silhouette of the sacred Mount Tai can be seen rising from the plains to the far west.
Jinan City
The provincial capital of Shandong and the winding course of the Yellow River passing through it.
Yuntai Mountain
The rugged peaks of Mount Yuntai visible as the flight prepares for landing in Lianyungang.
The right side (F) is best for sunset views on late afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the distinctive grid patterns of rural China. Mount Tai is visible only in high-visibility conditions, usually following a cold front or rain.
