Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is favored for its perspective of the historic Grand Canal and the expansive Hongze Lake during the final approach into Huai'an.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Tianjin Cityscape

Panoramic views of the Haihe River and the dense urban architecture of Tianjin shortly after departure.

🚣

The Grand Canal

Segments of the ancient Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are visible as silver threads winding through the landscape.

🌊

Hongze Lake

A spectacular view of China's fourth-largest freshwater lake, especially prominent during the descent into Huai'an.

🌾

Jianghuai Agriculture

The intricate patchwork of rice paddies and irrigation networks characteristic of the fertile northern Jiangsu plains.

The right side offers the most iconic 'water town' scenery. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the Grand Canal and Hongze Lake. Sit in a window seat ahead of the wing (Rows 6-12) to ensure an unobstructed view of the water systems during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🚢

Tianjin Port Area

Vast views of one of the world's busiest container ports and the Bohai Bay coastline immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Bohai Sea Coastline

The plane often tracks along the coast, offering views of the meeting point between the North China Plain and the sea.

🧂

Coastal Salt Pans

Large, colorful geometric shapes formed by industrial salt evaporation ponds near Cangzhou.

🏗️

Lianyungang Vistas

As you enter northern Jiangsu, you may see the industrial development and ports of the Lianyungang region to the east.

Choose this side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Bohai Sea. It is also the better side for viewing the massive industrial scale of China's northern maritime infrastructure.
