Shenyang Cityscape
Panoramic view of the sprawling capital of Liaoning immediately following departure from Taoxian.
Shanhaiguan Great Wall
The dramatic point where the ancient Great Wall descends from the mountains to meet the Bohai Sea.
Yanshan Mountains
Rugged, craggy mountain ridges that define the northern edge of the North China Plain.
Hebei Farmland
Intricate agricultural patterns of the North China Plain visible during the descent into Shijiazhuang.
Keep your eyes peeled approximately 30 minutes after takeoff for the Great Wall. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun illuminates the western faces of the Yanshan Mountains. During winter, these peaks are often snow-capped, providing stunning contrast.
