Which side of the plane to sit from Tongliao Airport (Tongliao) to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most scenic variety, featuring views of the Bohai Sea coastline, the intricate patterns of the Yellow River Delta, and a distant perspective of the Shanghai metropolis during the final descent phase.
Horqin Grasslands
Expansive views of the Inner Mongolian steppe and agricultural patches shortly after takeoff.
Bohai Sea Coastline
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.
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.
Taihu Lake
The massive freshwater lake near Suzhou appears as a shimmering expanse during the approach.
The Grand Canal
Sections of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal can be spotted weaving through the plains.
Qiantang River
A spectacular view of Hangzhou's main river and the city's modern CBD during the landing sequence.
The right side is perfect for evening flights to catch the sunset over the inland mountains. It also offers a better view of the Qiantang River and the West Lake area if the flight path approaches Hangzhou Xiaoshan from the west or south.
