Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior scenery, featuring the expansive coastline of the Yellow Sea, the busy maritime traffic of Bohai Bay, and a clear view of the massive port infrastructure near Tianjin.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Yellow Sea Coastline

Dramatic views where the coastal plains meet the sea shortly after departure.

🚢

Bohai Bay Traffic

Numerous cargo ships and tankers anchored or moving through the busy maritime corridors.

🏗️

Tianjin Binhai Area

The massive scale of one of the world's largest industrial ports and coastal development zones.

✈️

PEK Terminal 3

A grand view of the iconic 'Dragon' terminal as the aircraft aligns with the northern runways.

Morning flights are ideal for the right side as the sun illuminates the coastline and shipping lanes. Look out for the distinct salt pans and industrial grids near Tianjin, which create unique geometric patterns from high altitude.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌾

Yancheng Wetlands

Lush marshes and agricultural plains visible immediately after takeoff from YNZ.

⛰️

Shandong Hinterlands

Rolling hills and rural landscapes of central Shandong province during the mid-flight phase.

🏙️

Beijing Skyline

A distant view of the CBD skyscrapers and the China Zun tower during the descent into PEK.

🌉

Grand Canal

Sections of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal cutting through the North China Plain.

Select the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the North China Plain without the sun's glare directly in your eyes. This side is also better for spotting the dense urban layout of Beijing's southern suburbs during the final approach.
