Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Shubuling Airport (Linyi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for Beijing's urban core upon departure, a bird's-eye view of the massive Daxing International Airport, and distant views of the Taihang Mountains.
Beijing CBD
A stunning view of the China Zun and other iconic skyscrapers if the flight path tracks slightly west of the city.
Daxing Airport (PKX)
The 'Starfish' architecture of Beijing's newest international hub is clearly visible during the initial cruise phase.
Taihang Mountains
The rugged eastern edge of the Taihang range provides a dramatic mountain backdrop to the west.
Yellow River Crossing
A magnificent view of the 'Mother River' of China as the flight nears the halfway point toward Linyi.
Mount Tai Silhouette
On exceptionally clear days, the distant peak of the sacred Mount Tai may be visible on the western horizon.
For the best photography, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the landscapes to the west. The view of Daxing Airport is a major highlight, so have your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of flight. Visibility is best during autumn when the air over the North China Plain is clearest.
Beijing Sub-center
View the rapid urban development and modern skyscrapers of the Tongzhou district shortly after takeoff.
Bohai Bay Horizon
On clear days, the distant glimmer of the Bohai Sea coastline near Tianjin is visible to the east.
Grand Canal
Spot sections of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal winding through the North China Plain.
Shandong Farmlands
Intricate geometric patterns of agricultural fields that dominate the landscape of northern Shandong province.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the transition from the dense Beijing suburbs to the vast, flat agricultural heartland of the North China Plain.
