Which side of the plane to sit from Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it offers a front-row seat to Mount Tai shortly after takeoff and the rugged beauty of the Lushan mountain range mid-flight.
Mount Tai
Visible within 15 minutes of takeoff, this sacred UNESCO site is the crown jewel of the flight.
Yangtze River Crossing
A stunning aerial view of the Yangtze near Jiujiang, filled with industrial barge traffic.
Lushan National Park
Look for the mist-shrouded peaks and steep cliffs of this historic mountain range.
Guangzhou and Pearl River
A panoramic view of the massive urban corridor and the delta's complex waterway network on approach.
Book a right-side window seat for the best chance to see Mount Tai. For the clearest views of the Jiangxi mountains, aim for autumn flights when the air is less hazy. Evening flights offer spectacular sunsets over the Pearl River Delta.
Yellow River Meanders
Views of the iconic Yellow River snaking through the Shandong landscape shortly after departure.
Poyang Lake
The eastern expanse of China's largest freshwater lake, featuring unique seasonal water patterns.
Wuyi Mountain Range
Distant views of the jagged peaks and lush tea-growing regions of northern Fujian.
Huizhou and East Shenzhen
The dense urban sprawl and coastal developments of the eastern Pearl River Delta during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise without direct glare. In summer, this side often provides better views of the dramatic cumulus cloud formations over the Yangtze River basin.
