Stunning views of the coastline where the North China Plain meets the Bohai Sea near Tianjin.

〽️

Yellow River Delta

The distinct muddy waters and intricate sediment patterns where the Yellow River empties into the sea.

🏙️

Yangtze River Delta

Dense urban clusters and immense industrial port activity as the plane enters the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region.

🌉

Hangzhou Bay

A glimpse of the massive coastal infrastructure and the northern reaches of the East China Sea.

Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sunrise reflect off the coastal waters without direct glare. During the descent into Hangzhou, keep an eye out for the distinct geometric patterns of fish ponds and water networks characteristic of the region.

Right Side Highlights

Inland Mongolian Steppe

Vast, arid landscapes and rolling hills typical of the northern border regions.

⛰️

Mount Tai

On clear days, the silhouette of the sacred Tai mountain range in Shandong is visible to the west.
