Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the rugged Dabie Mountains and the iconic granite peaks of the Huangshan range during the final descent into Tunxi.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏞️

Fen River Valley

Following the natural southern corridor out of Shanxi province with views of the surrounding plateau.

🏔️

Dabie Mountains

Dense, green mountain ridges that mark the transition between northern and southern China.

🌉

Yangtze River Crossing

A spectacular view of China's longest river, often filled with cargo barges and lined with industrial infrastructure.

🌲

Huangshan Massif

Dramatic granite peaks and ancient pine forests visible during the final 15 minutes of the flight.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to see the sunset over the Dabie Mountains. For the best view of the Huangshan peaks, ensure you are seated behind the wing. In winter, the snow-capped ridges of the mountains provide a stunning contrast against the valleys. During the rainy season, watch for the 'Sea of Clouds' effect common in this area.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Taiyuan Cityscape

Aerial view of the Fen River and the industrial layout of Taiyuan shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Taihang Foothills

The eastern edge of the Loess Plateau where the mountains meet the sprawling North China Plain.

🌊

Yellow River Bend

A high-altitude perspective of the Yellow River as it snakes through the Henan-Anhui border region.

🌾

Anhui Farmlands

Intricate patterns of rice paddies and agricultural canals characteristic of the lower Yangtze basin.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the plains without sun glare. During the summer, look for massive cumulus cloud formations that frequently build up over the North China Plain. Keep an eye out for the vast network of high-speed rail lines that crisscross this region.
