Which side of the plane to sit from Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin) to Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of China's iconic landforms, including the sacred Mount Tai during the cruise phase and the breathtaking jagged peaks of the Huangshan mountain range upon arrival.
Mount Tai (Taishan)
The most famous of China's Five Great Mountains, visible as a massive granite massif rising abruptly from the surrounding plains near Tai'an.
Lake Dongping
A large, scenic lake situated at the foot of the western Shandong hills, providing a sharp contrast to the flat terrain.
Dabie Mountains
Rolling green ridges of the Dabie range become visible as the flight enters central Anhui, signaling the transition to southern topography.
Mount Huang (Huangshan)
During the descent, the world-famous granite peaks and 'sea of clouds' for which Huangshan is known are often visible to the west.
Ancient Huizhou Villages
Small clusters of white-walled, black-tiled traditional Huizhou architecture scattered among the valleys as you approach TXN airport.
The right side is essential for spotting Mount Tai mid-flight. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sunset colors reflecting off the Huangshan granite peaks. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for the final 20 minutes of the descent, as the terrain becomes extremely dramatic.
Tianjin Urban Area
Vast views of the Tianjin Binhai industrial zones and the city's expanding southern suburbs shortly after takeoff.
Yellow River Bend
A clear view of the silt-heavy Yellow River as it meanders through the North China Plain towards the Bohai Sea.
The Grand Canal
Sections of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are visible as straight, dark ribbons cutting through the agricultural landscape.
Lake Weishan
The largest freshwater lake in North China, appearing as a sprawling blue oasis amidst the dense farmland of Shandong.
Yangtze River Crossing
A massive silver thread representing the Yangtze River, usually spotted near the Anhui-Jiangsu border region.
Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the vast plains of Anhui. The left side provides excellent views of the watery landscapes of the lower Yangtze River basin during the final third of the flight.
