Which side of the plane to sit from Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin) to Ordos Ejin Horo Airport (Dongsheng)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Beijing metropolis, sections of the Great Wall, and the distinct transition from the fertile North China Plain to the arid Ordos Plateau.

Beijing Metropolis
A sweeping view of the southern suburbs and the massive scale of China's capital city shortly after takeoff.
Great Wall Fragments
Look closely at the mountain ridges north of the path to spot sections of the Ming-era Great Wall.
Guanting Reservoir
A massive blue expanse of water that contrasts sharply with the surrounding brownish-yellow mountain terrain.
Ordos Grasslands
As you descend into DSN, the landscape transforms into the vast, semi-arid rolling hills of Inner Mongolia.
Sit on the right side for the best chance to see the Great Wall and the Beijing skyline. This side avoids the harsh southern sun during westbound afternoon flights, providing better visibility for long-distance landmarks. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 20-30 minutes into the flight for the reservoir and mountain fortifications.

Central Taihang Mountains
Witness the rugged, vertical cliffs of the Taihang range that separate the plains from the high plateau.
Loess Plateau Erosion
Incredible aerial views of the 'thousand hills and ten thousand gullies' formed by millennia of soil erosion.
Taiyuan Basin
The flight passes near the industrial and historical hub of Shanxi, visible in the river valley below.
Yellow River Great Bend
Dramatic views of the Yellow River as it carves through the loess landscape near the Shaanxi-Inner Mongolia border.
The left side is exceptional for photography of the unique geological formations of the Loess Plateau. Aim for a morning flight (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) to have the sun behind you, which enhances the textures and shadows of the eroded canyons. In winter, light snow cover makes these patterns even more pronounced.
