Yangtze River Estuary
A spectacular view of the world's busiest waterway and the massive bridges connecting Shanghai to the north.
Nantong Urban Area
The dense cityscapes of the northern Yangtze Delta transition into the flat, fertile plains of Jiangsu.
Mount Yuntai
Near Lianyungang, these prominent coastal mountains rise sharply from the surrounding flatlands.
Shandong Hinterland
Views of the agricultural heartland and the varied terrain of the Shandong Peninsula's western side.
Bohai Bay Industrial Hubs
As the plane approaches Jinzhou, the coastline reveals massive port facilities and industrial development.
Sit on the left (A/B/C) to avoid the harsh morning sun when flying north. This side is particularly rewarding for seeing the complex bridge systems over the Yangtze and the transition from southern wetlands to northern plains. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography of the Shandong hills.

Chongming Island
The massive alluvial island at the mouth of the Yangtze, known for its wetlands and forests.
Yellow Sea Shipping Lanes
Aerial views of countless cargo ships and tankers navigating the waters between China and Korea.
Shandong Eastern Tip
The rugged, scenic coastline of the Yantai and Weihai regions as the flight crosses the peninsula.
The Bohai Strait
A long stretch of open water where the Yellow Sea meets the Bohai Sea, dotted with small islands.
Liaodong Peninsula Approach
Distant views of Dalian's rugged coastline as the aircraft begins its descent into Jinzhou Bay.
The right side (J/K/L) is best for maritime enthusiasts. On clear days, you can spot the Changshan Islands in the Bohai Strait. For early morning flights, be prepared for significant glare off the water. This side offers a unique perspective of the 'neck' of the Bohai Sea during the crossing.
