Captain Lars Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Welcome aboard and thank you for continuing your journey with China Eastern Airlines! Our dispatchers did their best to find the optimal routing for our flight to Xi'an. Xi'an is a historically important city in China's Shaanxi province (please never confuse with Shanxi province, which lies east of Shaanxi) and is most famous for these guys: The army of his Majesty, Qin Shihuandi, the first emperor of China. He wasn't the nicest of all guys, but this may come with his profession. Cool hat anyway! Let's line up on runway 17L: Please note the Chinese habit of having a very clear delimitation between city and countryside, exemplified by the case of Shanghai: Please also note the other Chinese habit of building cities with a very homogenous building structure. Note how our skyscrapers tower above the other buildings! Also, please note the third Chinese habit of building lots of roads to nowhere to fake a city on the map. Please close the window blinds now. China Eastern cannot assume responsibility for any damage to your eyes. Sir, watching the landscape is at your own risk! As we approach Xi'an, we cross a city... A big shoutout to the clouds! They really saved the scenery here. OK, I cheated here: This picture actually shows Orbx FTX Idaho 2004. Sorry! We approach the plain of Xi'an. A few turns more... Sir!! ... and touch-down! Applause for the pilot who worked really hard to hit the aiming point. Now get off the plane, please, and mind the gap. Heave your grandmas into the jetway or use the rear exit. You can try the restaurant in the tower. They offer excellent pangolin, bat-soufflé and snake liquor. Don't forget to don your face masks to protect against any viruses. Thank you for choosing China Eastern! Next stop Hong Kong! Please don't forget to leave a like on our website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean marc Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 again a great trip thanks Lars... In fact IMHO it is not so ugly as you said, thanks to Global : the 4th before end is great for me ... (No hope for one day a Open LC Asia ? Is definitily off ? Open LC Africa is so great ... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Nice flight Jack Are you sure you'll reach the 7th part? China has a land patron that is copied infinitely and looks very dull for such a gigantic country Lot of hours on that plane, fortunately weather saves the land view and add fun cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you can urge the Chinese government to issue a better landscape in the next 5 years plan by taking part in the poll - which I believe you already did. 3 hours ago, carlosqr said: Nice flight Jack Are you sure you'll reach the 7th part?

The 6th part is already in the making, so I'm really confident on the 7th part. Also, by my own rules I couldn't start the next tour in a less ugly area before completing the current one. 1 hour ago, BradB said: Loving the trip Lars , also the history lesson . Thanks Brad, I'm glad you like it despite the uglyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
