Which side of the plane to sit from Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin) to Yantai Laishan Airport (Yantai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Yellow River Delta's sediment plumes and the industrial scale of the Tianjin Binhai New Area.
Tianjin Binhai New Area
The massive port infrastructure and urban development of Tianjin's coastal economic hub immediately after takeoff.
Yellow River Delta
The stunning visual of silty yellow-brown water mixing with the sea at the mouth of the Yellow River near Dongying.
Coastal Salt Pans
Large, colorful geometric patterns of salt evaporation ponds along the Hebei and Shandong coastlines.
Shandong Hillside
The rugged, terraced terrain of the Shandong Peninsula's interior as the flight heads toward Yantai.
Laizhou Bay Agriculture
The intricate patchwork of farmland and aquaculture ponds lining the southern shore of the bay.
The right side (typically seat K or F) is superior for land-based landmarks. The transition of the Yellow River into the sea is a highlight; look for it roughly 20-30 minutes into the flight. Afternoon flights may face some glare, so polarized sunglasses are recommended.
Bohai Sea Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the turquoise and grey waters of China's inner sea throughout the flight.
Offshore Oil Rigs
Small industrial dots in the Bohai Sea representing the region's significant marine energy extraction.
Penglai Coastline
The northern tip of the Shandong Peninsula, home to the mythical Penglai Pavilion, visible during the final descent.
Yantai Port
A view of the busy shipping lanes and cargo terminals as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.
Sit on the left (typically seat A) for soft morning light when flying southeast. This side is better if you prefer the minimalist beauty of the open sea and coastal silhouettes.
