Qingdao Coastline
Aerial views of the iconic red-tiled roofs and expansive sandy beaches along the Yellow Sea coast.
Laizhou Bay
The wide blue expanse of the Bohai Sea filled with commercial vessels waiting to enter major ports.
Yellow River Delta
The spectacular sight where the sediment-heavy Yellow River meets the blue ocean water in a swirl of colors.
Offshore Oil Rigs
The Shengli Oilfield's marine platforms visible as small industrial outposts in the shallow coastal waters.
Port of Tianjin
One of the world's largest container ports with intricate logistics networks visible during the descent.
Binhai New Area
Modern skyscrapers and the futuristic skyline of Tianjin's coastal economic zone near the Haihe River mouth.
This side is highly recommended for evening flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River Delta is the most unique geographic feature; watch for it roughly halfway through the flight. During descent, look down for the massive container ships entering the Tianjin Port.
