Which side of the plane to sit from Yulin Yuyang Airport (Yulin) to Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the unique geological formations of the Loess Plateau, the dramatic descent over the Taihang Mountains, and the vast wetlands of the North China Plain before landing.
Loess Plateau Terraces
Witness the incredible 'Thousand Hills and Ten Thousand Gullies' landscape with its unique agricultural terracing.
Taihang Escarpment
The most dramatic part of the flight, where the land suddenly drops from the Shanxi highlands to the Hebei plains.
Baiyangdian Lake
The largest freshwater wetland in North China, visible as a network of reeds and water near the Xiong'an New Area.
Tianjin Urban Sprawl
A panoramic view of the Haihe River and the dense skyscrapers of the Binhai New Area during the final approach.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset reflection over the Loess Plateau and Baiyangdian Lake. The descent over the Taihang Mountains is the highlight; be ready with your camera about 30-40 minutes after takeoff from Yulin.
Mu Us Desert Edge
View the striking contrast between the golden sands of the desert and the greening projects near the Shaanxi-Inner Mongolia border.
Ancient Great Wall
Potential sightings of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall ruins winding across the high ridges of northern Shanxi.
Northern Taihang Peaks
Sharp, rugged mountain ranges that mark the transition from the high plateau to the low-lying plains.
Zhangjiakou Outskirts
Industrial landscapes and mountain valleys that hosted events during the Winter Olympics.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to get a clearer view of the Great Wall sections. Keep an eye out for the distinctive desert-to-mountain transition early in the flight.
