Keep an eye out for Mount Tai approximately 20-30 minutes after departure; it stands out significantly from the surrounding plains. For early morning flights, the left side provides excellent soft lighting for photos of the Hubei lake districts. During arrival, this side often yields better views of the Yangtze River's eastern bends.

The Yellow River crossing is the highlight of this side, usually occurring about 45 minutes into the flight. On late afternoon flights, the right side will face the setting sun, which can cause significant glare but provides a dramatic silhouette of the Taihang Mountains. Use a high shutter speed to capture the distinct muddy color of the Yellow River.
