The left side offers a stunning combination of coastal vistas over the Yellow Sea and the massive freshwater lake systems of Jiangsu province during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Yantai Gold Coast

Clear views of the sandy beaches and the urban coastline of the Shandong Peninsula immediately after takeoff.

⛴️

Yellow Sea Horizon

A vast expanse of the Yellow Sea provides a deep blue backdrop for the first half of the journey.

💧

Hongze Lake

The fourth largest freshwater lake in China, featuring unique aquaculture grids and surrounding wetlands.

🌾

Jiangsu Water Network

An intricate mosaic of canals, rice paddies, and small villages typical of the lower Yangtze River basin.

🏙️

Eastern Hefei

The rapid urban expansion and industrial zones of eastern Hefei visible during the final approach.

Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. The highlight is Hongze Lake, which usually appears about 25-30 minutes before landing; keep your camera ready for the contrast between the water and the agricultural grid.

⛰️

Shandong Highlands

The rugged terrain of the central Shandong hills, offering a mountainous contrast to the coastal plains.

🏢
