Liaodong Peninsula
The rugged, rocky coastline where the Yellow Sea meets the Bohai Strait, featuring beautiful maritime scenery.
Port of Dalian
View the massive container terminals and heavy shipping traffic in one of North China's busiest maritime hubs.
Changbai Foothills
Distant views of the forested highlands and rolling terrain that mark the edge of the Changbai mountain range.
Songhua River
The iconic blue artery of Harbin, featuring dramatic meanders and oxbow lakes during the final descent.
The right side is best for afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, illuminating the coastline. In winter, this side is a must-seat for viewing the spectacular frozen landscapes and the ice-choked Songhua River. During descent into Harbin, look for the 'Stalin Park' area and the distinctive river islands which are clearly visible from this side.

Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
One of the longest cross-sea bridges in the world, visible shortly after takeoff from Qingdao.
Shenyang Skyline
A clear view of the dense urban center and industrial districts of Liaoning's capital city.
Northeast China Plain
Geometric patterns of China's 'breadbasket' with vast corn and soybean fields stretching to the horizon.
Sunset Horizon
For evening flights, this side provides unobstructed views of the sunset over the Chinese interior.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is particularly interesting during the middle of the flight for observing the massive scale of North China's urban development. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the hilly Shandong terrain to the flat, fertile plains of the north.
