Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of coastal vistas, major river crossings, and a stunning approach over the Bohai Bay industrial landscape.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

South China Sea Coast

Stunning views of the coastline and busy shipping lanes near the Pearl River Estuary during initial climb.

💧

Poyang Lake

Views of China's largest freshwater lake, showing its vast surface area and seasonal water level changes.

🌉

Yangtze River Delta

The massive expanse of the Yangtze River, often featuring views of mega-bridges and heavy river traffic near Nanjing.

⚓

Bohai Bay

The shimmering waters of the Bohai Sea as the plane turns for its final approach into Tianjin.

🏗️

Tianjin Port

Incredible views of one of the world's largest container ports and the Binhai New Area's modern skyline.

The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the East China Sea. During descent, keep your camera ready for the massive scale of the Tianjin Port and the intricate salt pans along the Bohai coast.

7.2
🏙️

Shenzhen Skyline

Aerial view of the Nanshan District and the massive Pearl River Delta urban sprawl immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

Rugged mountain terrain and deep green valleys marking the border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.

🏞️

Gan River Valley

The winding Gan River as it snakes through central China's agricultural heartland.

🚜

North China Plain

Endless geometric patterns of farmland stretching toward the horizon as you cross into the northern provinces.

🌕

Yellow River

A glimpse of the iconic, silt-heavy Yellow River cutting a path through the plains south of Tianjin.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare, though you may face the setting sun. It is ideal for observing the dense urbanization of inland China and the dramatic shift from southern mountains to northern plains.
