Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the inland geography, including the distant silhouette of Mount Tai and a spectacular approach to the iconic granite peaks of the Yellow Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Qingdao Urban Landscape

A final look at the red-tiled roofs and modern skyscrapers of the coastal city.

⛰️

Mount Tai

On clear days, the distant but distinct silhouette of China's most sacred mountain is visible to the west.

🌾

Anhui Plains

Intricate patchworks of agricultural fields and the winding Huai River network.

🏞️

Chao Lake

A massive freshwater lake near Hefei that provides a beautiful landmark during the mid-flight phase.

🏔️

Yellow Mountain Massif

The dramatic, jagged granite peaks of Huangshan appearing during the final descent phase.

The right side is premier for the approach into Tunxi. For afternoon flights, you may witness a stunning sunset over the mountain ranges. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the peaks as the plane maneuvers for landing.

Left Side Highlights

🌉

Jiaozhou Bay Bridge

View of the massive T-shaped cross-sea bridge shortly after takeoff from Qingdao.

🌊

Yellow Sea Coastline

Aerial perspective of the coastline stretching south toward Lianyungang.

💧

Hongze Lake

🚢

Yangtze River Crossing

Crossing the industrial and scenic lifeline of China near the Nanjing corridor.

Anhui Bamboo Forests

Lush green rolling hills typical of southern Anhui during the descent into Huangshan.

Morning flights are best for the left side to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff to catch the intricate patterns of the Jiaozhou Bay aquaculture farms and the bridge structure.
