XUZ → HRB
Which side of the plane to sit from Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou) to Taiping Airport (Harbin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of coastal vistas over the Bohai Sea, views of the Dalian peninsula, and the vast industrial landscape of Northeast China.
Bohai Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the ocean as the flight bridges the gap between the Shandong and Liaodong peninsulas.
Dalian Peninsula
The tip of the Liaodong Peninsula is often visible, showcasing one of China's most strategic port cities.
Yingkou Ports
Observe the massive shipping infrastructure and industrial docks along the coast of the Liaodong Gulf.
Shenyang Urban Core
A clear view of the massive urban sprawl of Shenyang, the largest city in Northeast China.
Liaoning Uplands
Rugged, forested hills that provide a sharp contrast to the flat plains seen earlier in the journey.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the sun. The highlight is the mid-flight crossing of the Bohai Sea; keep your eyes peeled about 45 minutes after takeoff from XUZ for the Dalian coastline. During winter, look for sea ice forming along the Liaodong coast.
North China Plain
Vast stretches of organized agricultural land and industrial hubs across northern Jiangsu and Shandong provinces.
Yellow River Bend
Spot the iconic silt-heavy waters of the Yellow River as the flight path crosses northern Shandong.
Changchun Skyline
A distant view of the sprawling capital of Jilin province as the aircraft begins its northern descent.
Heilongjiang Farmlands
Endless grids of 'Black Soil' fields that define China's northernmost agricultural powerhouse.
Sit on the left for inland views of the Yellow River crossing. On afternoon flights, however, be prepared for intense sun glare. In winter, this side offers a clear view of the frozen Songhua River basin just before landing at HRB.
