TGOTNA

Which side of the plane to sit from Tongliao Airport (Tongliao) to Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more dramatic transition from the Inner Mongolian grasslands into the rugged Yan Mountains and offers a classic aerial perspective of the Yellow River just before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Southern Da Hinggan

Rugged mountain ridges forming the boundary between the plateau and the coastal plains.

🏔️

Yan Mountains

Dramatic geological formations and deep valleys as the flight passes over northern Hebei Province.

🏙️

Chengde Region

Aerial views of the mountainous terrain surrounding the historic imperial summer retreats.

🌊

The Yellow River

A stunning view of the winding, silt-heavy river as it snakes across the landscape toward Jinan.

The right side is perfect for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the mountains. Focus your attention about 15-20 minutes before landing to see the Yellow River's distinctive brown waters crossing the plain.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏜️

Horqin Sandy Land

View the unique textures of the semi-arid landscapes of Inner Mongolia shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Bohai Economic Rim

Glimpse the industrial sprawl and ports along the Liaodong Bay coastline in the distance.

🌊

Yellow River Delta

Observe the intricate silt patterns and wetlands where the Yellow River meets the Bohai Sea.

🌾

Shandong Farmlands

A dense patchwork of agricultural fields that characterizes the fertile North China Plain.

Morning flights are ideal for this side to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Bohai Sea. Keep an eye out for the Red Beach wetlands near Panjin during the autumn months for vibrant colors.
