Which side of the plane to sit from Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin) to Changbaishan Airport (Baishan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged terrain of eastern Liaoning and the dramatic approach to the Changbai Mountain range, including views of the Songhua River and the volcanic peaks.
Caofeidian Port
One of China's largest industrial ports with massive container terminals visible during the climb.
Liaodong Peninsula
Rugged coastal mountains and the rugged topography of the eastern Liaoning corridor.
Songhua River Headwaters
The meandering blue ribbons of the upper Songhua River cutting through dense forest valleys.
Changbai Forest Sea
A vast, unbroken canopy of ancient forests that defines the Changbaishan National Nature Reserve.
Changbai Volcano
During the descent, catch a glimpse of the majestic volcanic peaks and the snowy slopes leading to the border region.
This is the prime side for scenery. In winter, the snow-covered peaks are breathtaking. Try to book an afternoon flight to see the sunset reflecting off the Songhua River and the white slopes of the mountains. A seat behind the wing ensures an unobstructed view of the crater if the flight path circles from the south.
Tianjin Binhai Skyline
Aerial view of the industrial hubs and the Binhai New Area shortly after takeoff.
Bohai Bay Coast
The northern coastline of the Bohai Sea, featuring the winding shores of Tangshan and Qinhuangdao.
Liaohe Plain
Vast agricultural expanses and the flat, fertile basin of the Liao River in central Liaoning province.
Shenyang Periphery
Distant views of the high-rise clusters of Shenyang, the administrative center of Northeast China.
West Jilin Hills
Gentle rolling hills as the landscape transitions from the plains to the mountainous eastern region.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is better for observing the industrial scale of northern China's port cities and the vastness of the northern plains during the first half of the flight.
