Which side of the plane to sit from Liuting Airport (Qingdao) to Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan)?
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.
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.
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
One of China's largest freshwater lakes appearing as a vast blue expanse in the Jiangsu plains.
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.
