TNA โ WNZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan) to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of China's diverse landscape, featuring the iconic Mount Tai shortly after takeoff and the dramatic, rugged mountain peaks of southern Zhejiang during the descent.
Mount Tai (Tai Shan)
One of the most sacred mountains in China, its granite peaks are clearly visible just south of Jinan shortly after takeoff.
Hongze Lake
Look for one of China's largest freshwater lakes, appearing as a massive blue mirror amidst the Jiangsu plains.
Hangzhou & West Lake
From a distance, you can spot the urban center of Hangzhou and the famous West Lake nestled against the hills.
Zhejiang Highlands
The terrain transforms into lush, rolling green mountains as you enter the scenic Zhejiang province.
Yandang Mountains
During the descent into Wenzhou, the sharp, dramatic volcanic rock formations of the Yandang range provide a spectacular view.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic geographical shifts. You will see the flat plains of Shandong give way to the 'Sea of Mountains' in Zhejiang. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or a polarizing filter for photos. Mount Tai is the primary landmarkโlook for it within the first 15 minutes of flight time.
Yellow River Delta
View the lower reaches of the Yellow River as it snakes through the North China Plain shortly after departing Jinan.
Lianyungang Coastline
As the flight heads south, catch glimpses of the Yellow Sea coastline and the busy industrial ports of Jiangsu.
Hangzhou Bay
On clear days, the vast expanse of Hangzhou Bay and the silhouettes of the Zhoushan Archipelago are visible to the east.
Ningbo Cityscape
The sprawling urban landscape of Ningbo and its complex waterway networks can be seen mid-flight.
Oujiang River Estuary
The final approach offers a stunning view of where the Oujiang River meets the East China Sea near Wenzhou.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the East China Sea without direct glare. It provides the best perspective of the coastline and the massive scale of China's eastern port infrastructure. Keep an eye out for the transition from the muddy waters of the Yangtze delta to the clearer blue of the southern coast.
