Yellow River Delta
The distinct muddy waters of the Yellow River meeting the Bohai Sea near Dongying.
Northern Metro Views
Distant but vast urban sprawls of Tianjin and southern Beijing under clear weather conditions.
The Great Wall
Ancient stone sections winding along mountain ridges near the border of Hebei and Inner Mongolia.
Daqing Mountains
The towering mountain range that forms the northern backdrop of the Hohhot basin during the descent.
Sit here for the best lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. The most scenic part occurs about 20 minutes before landing when the plane crosses the Great Wall and the rugged Daqing Mountains. Use a polarized lens for photos to cut through potential haze over the industrial plains.
Book Hotels in Hohhot
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
One of the world's longest cross-sea bridges visible immediately after takeoff from Qingdao.
North China Plain
A patchwork of agricultural fields stretching across the heart of Shandong and Hebei provinces.
Taihang Mountains
The dramatic transition from the plains to the plateau, featuring deep canyons and rugged limestone ridges.
Loess Plateau
Unique geological formations of yellow silt and eroded landscapes as the plane nears Inner Mongolia.
Best for afternoon flights to capture the sun setting over the Taihang mountain ridges. Keep an eye out early for the massive scale of the Qingdao port facilities. If the flight path is southerly, you may spot the silhouette of Mount Tai in the distance.
