TYN โ DYG
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiyuan Wusu Airport (Taiyuan) to Dayong Airport (Dayong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the dramatic Qinling Mountain range and the iconic sandstone pillars of the Zhangjiajie karst landscape during the descent into Dayong.
Lรผliang Mountains
Rugged, eroded ridges of the Loess Plateau visible shortly after departing the Taiyuan basin.
Qinling Range
The massive east-west mountain range that serves as the geographical and climatic divide between North and South China.
Yangtze River Glimpses
Aerial views of the Yangtze as it flows toward the Three Gorges region in western Hubei.
Wuling Karst Peaks
Dramatic sandstone pillars and lush green canyons characteristic of the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park area during descent.
Sit on the right for the most dramatic terrain changes. Keep your camera ready roughly 15-20 minutes before landing, as the plane descends over the spectacular karst mountains of Zhangjiajie. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for these rock formations.
Taiyuan Cityscape
Bird's-eye view of the Fen River winding through Taiyuan's urban center immediately after takeoff.
Yellow River Meanders
The massive, silt-rich bends of the Yellow River acting as the natural border between Shanxi and Henan provinces.
Central Plains Tapestry
Expansive agricultural patterns and rural settlements across the fertile plains of northern Hubei.
Dongting Lake Basin
Vast networks of rivers and wetlands visible in the distance as the flight enters Hunan province.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a better view of the agricultural heartland of China, especially during the middle portion of the flight.
