Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Bohai Bay coastline, showcasing the transition from the North China Plain to the maritime industrial hubs of Tianjin and Qinhuangdao.

Qinhuangdao Beaches

The famous coastal resorts and the 'Old Dragon's Head' where the Great Wall meets the sea.

Bohai Salt Pans

Intricate, colorful geometric patterns of salt evaporation ponds near the coastline.

Huludao Harbor

Significant coastal infrastructure and shipyards visible as the plane tracks north into Liaoning.

The right side is superior for maritime scenery. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline. Watch for the dramatic 'Shanhai Pass' area where the mountains nearly meet the sea.
