Witness the massive scale of the Yangtze River meeting the East China Sea, featuring industrial ports and sediment-rich waters.
Qingdao Urban Coast
Aerial views of the iconic red-roofed architecture and the modern skyline of Qingdao as you cross the Shandong Peninsula.
Mount Lao (Laoshan)
The highest coastal peak in China, offering dramatic granite formations and lush greenery right against the Yellow Sea.

Nantong Infrastructure
Observe the intricate network of bridges and canals that define the industrial landscape of the northern Yangtze Delta.
Sit on the left for a sunset flight to avoid direct glare while still capturing the warm glow over the coastline. In winter, look for frozen patches along the Bohai Sea coast. The most dramatic views occur in the first 20 minutes and the final 30 minutes of the flight.
