Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Singapore skyline upon departure and provides a more dramatic perspective of China's inland mountain ranges and the final approach toward the North China Plain.
Singapore Skyline
A stunning aerial perspective of the CBD and Marina Bay Sands immediately after takeoff from Changi.
Malay Coastline
Lush tropical views of the eastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia as you track north.
Central Highlands
The rugged peaks of the Annamite Range along the border of Vietnam and Laos.
Qinling Mountains
Vast mountain ridges that mark the natural boundary between North and South China.
Tianjin Urban Sprawl
The dense urban landscape and high-rises of the Tianjin metropolitan area during the final descent.
Choose the left side for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon. This side is also better for spotting the lights of inland Chinese cities like Wuhan or Zhengzhou during night flights. In winter, look for snow-capped peaks over the Qinling range as you enter Northern China.
Bintan and Batam
View the scattered islands of the Indonesian Riau Archipelago shortly after departure.
South China Sea
Expansive views of turquoise waters and remote coral atolls during the mid-flight cruise.
Pearl River Delta
Distant views of the massive urban clusters of Hong Kong and Shenzhen along the coast.
Bohai Sea
One of the world's busiest maritime corridors filled with massive container ships.
Tianjin Binhai Port
The massive industrial cranes and infrastructure of one of the world's largest seaports.
On morning flights, the right side provides a beautiful sunrise over the South China Sea. During descent, this side is ideal for seeing the complex engineering of the Tianjin Port and the Binhai New Area's modern skyline. Coastal haze can occur in summer, so autumn usually offers the clearest views.
