Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Bohai Sea coastline and the dramatic industrial scale of the Tianjin Port area.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Bohai Bay Coastline

The scenic transition where the Northern China landmass meets the shallow waters of the Bohai Sea.

🐉

Yellow River Delta

Complex wetland patterns and sediment plumes visible near Dongying where the Yellow River enters the sea.

⚓

Tianjin Port

One of the world's busiest maritime gateways, featuring massive container terminals and hundreds of cargo ships.

🏗️

Binhai New Area

The futuristic skyline and industrial zones of Tianjin's coastal economic development district.

🏢

PEK Terminal 3

During the final approach, the iconic dragon-shaped Terminal 3 is often visible from this side.

Choose the right side for morning flights to see the sun reflecting off the Bohai Sea. This side is consistently more scenic due to the coastal geography. Keep a close eye on the window about 20 minutes before landing to spot the massive scale of the Tianjin maritime infrastructure.

Left Side Highlights

🪁

Weifang Cityscape

Aerial view of the 'World Kite Capital' and its grid-like urban planning immediately after takeoff.

🌾

North China Plain

A vast, seemingly endless tapestry of agricultural fields and rural settlements stretching toward the horizon.

🏙️

Langfang Urban Area

A dense urban hub located between Tianjin and Beijing, showcasing rapid regional development.

⛰️

Beijing Western Hills

The Xishan mountain range provides a rugged silhouette on the western horizon during the descent.

The left side is preferable for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the North China Plain without direct glare. Look out for the central Beijing skyline in the distance as the aircraft turns to align with the runways at PEK.
