Our Recommendation
7.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Huaguoshan mountain range and the northern industrial and maritime infrastructure of Lianyungang during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Xuzhou East Industrial Zone

Aerial view of the expanding manufacturing and logistical hubs on the eastern outskirts of Xuzhou shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Yi River Crossings

Vibrant views of the Yi River as it snakes through the plains toward the Yellow Sea.

⛰️

Huaguoshan Range

The legendary 'Mountain of Flowers and Fruits' from Journey to the West, appearing as a prominent green massif near the destination.

🚢

Lianyungang Port

The massive maritime gateway and docking facilities visible on the horizon during the final approach.

Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to see the Huaguoshan peaks. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the mountain contours and the coastline without glare. This is a very short flight, so keep your camera ready immediately after reaching cruising altitude.

Right Side Highlights
5.4
🌾

Jiangsu Agricultural Mosaic

A vast, colorful patchwork of rice and wheat fields that define the fertile North China Plain.

🛶

Grand Canal Traces

Segments of the historic canal network and smaller tributary waterways used for local irrigation.

🏘️

Rural Settlements

Densely clustered villages and local townships like Shuyang, showing the high population density of the region.

🧂

Salt Evaporation Ponds

Intricate, geometric pools used for salt production near the coastal reaches of the flight path.

The right side is best for those interested in the geometric patterns of Chinese agriculture and rural planning. Use a polarized lens to better capture the reflections from the irrigation canals and salt ponds near the coast. Late afternoon flights provide a warm glow over the farmlands.
