TYN → CZX
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiyuan Wusu Airport (Taiyuan) to Changzhou Benniu Airport (Changzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of China's major hydrological landmarks, including a clear crossing of the Yellow River and the lush water networks of the Yangtze River Delta during descent.
The Yellow River
A spectacular view of the silty, golden-brown waters of China's 'Mother River' as the plane crosses into Henan.
Mount Song Foothills
Distant views of the sacred mountain range that houses the world-famous Shaolin Temple.
Xuzhou Transport Hub
A massive network of high-speed rail lines and logistics centers visible as you cross into Jiangsu province.
Yangtze River Crossing
The massive scale of the Yangtze becomes visible as the flight enters the final descent towards Changzhou.
Lake Tai (Taihu)
The shimmering waters and islands of one of China's most famous scenic lakes just south of the airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights. The highlight is the Yellow River crossing, which typically occurs 20-25 minutes into the flight. During the descent into CZX, the landscape transforms into the 'land of fish and rice,' characterized by a dense mosaic of ponds, canals, and greenery.
Taihang Mountains
Dramatic ridges and deep canyons of the eastern Shanxi plateau visible immediately after departure.
Handan Cityscape
A dense urban landscape representing one of China's oldest continuously inhabited cities.
Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal
Sections of the world's longest artificial river winding through the plains of Hebei and Jiangsu.
Hongze Lake
The fourth largest freshwater lake in China, appearing as a vast blue expanse on the northern horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid harsh southern sun glare. This side is better for spotting the sharp geological transition where the mountains drop off into the North China Plain. Keep an eye out for the historic Grand Canal's distinct straight paths among the farmland.
