Which side of the plane to sit from Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou) to Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the dramatic intersection of land and sea, featuring the massive Yangtze River mouth and the industrial coastline of Bohai Bay.
East China Sea
Stunning views of the jagged coastline and the numerous islands of the Zhoushan Archipelago.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
The iconic S-shaped cross-sea bridge visible spanning the massive bay below.
Yangtze River Delta
A massive plume of sediment where the Yangtze meets the sea, dotted with cargo ships.
Bohai Salt Pans
Intricate, colorful geometric patterns of industrial salt evaporation ponds along the coast.
Tianjin Binhai
The futuristic skyline and massive port infrastructure of northern China's primary maritime gateway.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while capturing the coastal detail. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct 'line' in the water where the muddy Yangtze silt meets the blue ocean.
Yandang Mountains
Rugged peaks and deep valleys of the coastal mountain range shortly after takeoff.
Taihu Lake
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible as a vast shimmering expanse near Wuxi.
The Grand Canal
The world's longest artificial river, winding through the historic cities of the Yangtze Delta.
North China Plain
An endless patchwork of agricultural fields and dense clusters of rural villages.
Western Hills
The forested mountain range that forms the scenic backdrop to Beijing's western edge.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the inland mountains and plains. During winter, look for frozen sections of the Grand Canal as you move north toward Beijing.
