Bohai Gulf Coastline
Stunning views of the sea meeting the land near Qinhuangdao and the Liaodong Bay.
Port of Qinhuangdao
Massive maritime infrastructure and cargo ships visible along the coastline.
Shenyang Skyline
A clear aerial perspective of the dense urban center of Liaoning Province during mid-flight.
Northeast China Plain
Intricate agricultural geometric patterns that define the 'breadbasket' of China.
Frozen Wetlands
In winter, the right side provides exceptional views of frozen marshes and river deltas.
For the best experience, book a seat behind the wing to capture the coastline and the sea. If flying in the afternoon, the lighting on the right side is perfect for photography of the Bohai Sea. Look for the distinct industrial landscape of the Liaoning corridor.

Taihang Mountains
Dramatic ridges and deep canyons visible shortly after departure from Yuncheng.

Distanced views of the western mountainous terrain surrounding the capital region.
Inner Mongolian Fringes

Sit on the left for early-morning departures to avoid the rising sun while enjoying the sharp shadows over the Taihang Mountains. During winter, this side offers the best view of the snow-covered Greater Khingan range in the far distance.
