Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more dramatic view of the central Taihang Mountain range as the flight transitions from the North China Plain into the Shanxi Plateau.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌆

Tianjin City Skyline

On a clear day, witness the dense cluster of skyscrapers in the Heping and Hexi districts shortly after departing Binhai.

⛰️

Central Taihang Ridges

Spectacular views of the jagged mountain spine and deep valleys that define the border between Hebei and Shanxi.

🌥️

Taihang Cloud Seas

If flying in the morning, look for fog trapped in the deep mountain valleys, creating a sea of clouds effect.

🌄

Changzhi Basin Entrance

The descent offers a panoramic view of the high-altitude basin where Changzhi is situated, surrounded by mountain peaks.

Sit on the right for the most impressive mountain photography. In winter, the snow-capped peaks of the Taihang range are particularly stunning. Sunset flights offer beautiful golden hour light reflecting off the western mountain faces.

Left Side Highlights

🏙️

Tianjin South Suburbs

View the rapid urban expansion and industrial logistics hubs south of the main city center shortly after takeoff.

🌾

Hebei Agricultural Patchwork

Intricate geometric patterns of farmland that dominate the landscape between Tianjin and the mountains.

🏔️

Southern Taihang Foothills

Watch the sudden geological uplift as the flat plains meet the sharp limestone ridges of the southern Taihang range.

Best viewed during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the many reservoirs nestled at the base of the mountains during the mid-flight phase.
