TXN → TSN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan) to Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the dramatic Huangshan mountain ranges immediately after takeoff and provides a clear view of the inland landscapes, including the Yangtze River and the distant silhouettes of the Taihang Mountains.
Huangshan Massif
Unparalleled views of the granite peaks and pine-covered ridges of the Yellow Mountain shortly after departure.
Yangtze River Crossing
A massive aerial view of the Yangtze River as the flight traverses the Anhui province waterway corridors.
Chaohu Lake
One of China's five largest freshwater lakes visible as a shimmering expanse to the west of the flight path.
Jinan Urban Area
The sprawling cityscape of the 'City of Springs' and its surrounding mountainous terrain in Shandong.
Taihang Mountains
On clear days, the western horizon reveals the rugged edges of the North China Plain meeting the Taihang range.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern glare. Shortly after takeoff from TXN, be ready for the spectacular Huangshan peaks. During winter, look for snow-capped ridges which provide a stunning contrast against the valleys.
Hongze Lake
The distinctive shape of Hongze Lake, a major reservoir on the Huai River, is visible to the east.
Yellow River Delta
Observation of the sediment-rich Yellow River as it snakes toward the Bohai Sea.
Bohai Bay Coastline
The transition from the North China Plain to the muddy flats and waters of the Bohai Gulf.
Tianjin Port
One of the world's busiest ports, featuring massive container terminals and ships waiting at anchor.
Binhai New Area
The modern skyline and industrial hubs of Tianjin's coastal economic zone during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves west, illuminating the Bohai Bay coastline. Watch for the intricate network of salt pans and aquaculture ponds along the coast as you approach TSN.
