Search flights from TYN to TAO
Southern Taihang Range
Dramatic views of the sharp drop-offs where the Loess Plateau terminates into the vast plains of eastern China.
Mount Tai (Taishan)
The most significant of China's Five Great Mountains, recognizable by its prominent peak rising south of the flight path near Jinan.
Yellow Sea Coastline
Panoramic views of the rugged Shandong Peninsula coastline and the turquoise waters of the Yellow Sea upon arrival.
Qingdao Urban Landscape
A blend of historic German-style red-tiled roofs and modern skyscrapers clustered along the winding shoreline.
The right side is the prime choice for seeing Mount Tai. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the Yellow Sea and the 'red tiles, green trees' of Qingdao's unique architecture. Use a window seat behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the mountains.

Rugged limestone cliffs and deep canyons of the Taihang range visible shortly after departing the Taiyuan basin.
North China Plain
An endless patchwork of agricultural fields and industrial hubs extending across the Hebei and Shandong provinces.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
One of the world's longest cross-sea bridges, visible as a massive white thread over the water during the northern approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid harsh glare. During the descent, keep a close watch for the complex network of salt pans and aquaculture farms near the coastline.
