Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of coastal vistas, the dramatic Bohai Sea crossing, and the industrial-agricultural landscape of Northeast China.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Guangzhou Urban Hub

Excellent views of the Pearl River and the dense urban architecture of Guangzhou immediately after takeoff.

🌉

Yangtze River Delta

Views of the massive, winding Yangtze River as it approaches the sea, surrounded by dense metropolitan clusters.

🌊

Bohai Sea Crossing

The highlight of the trip, crossing the blue waters from the Shandong Peninsula toward the Liaodong Peninsula.

⚓

Dalian Coastline

Rugged coastal cliffs and busy shipping lanes of the Dalian port area as the plane enters Northeast China.

🌾

Jilin Black Soil Plains

The 'Golden Corn Belt' features vast, geometric agricultural patterns that are particularly striking in autumn.

Recommended for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Yellow Sea. The transition from sea to land over Dalian is the best photo opportunity. Choose a seat ahead of the wing for the clearest view of the coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Nanling Mountains

Dense, green mountain ranges visible shortly after climbing out of the Pearl River Delta.

💧

Poyang Lake

China's largest freshwater lake, presenting a patchwork of wetlands and water during the mid-flight segment.

🏔️

Mount Tai

The majestic peak of Taishan, one of China's most sacred mountains, often visible as you pass through Shandong.

🏙️

Shenyang Skyline

A sweeping view of the industrial and urban sprawl of Liaoning's capital during the northern approach.

🌅

Inland Sunset

On late afternoon flights, this side offers unobstructed views of the sunset over the central Chinese plains.

Sit on the left for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset. Use a flight tracker to identify the historic peaks of Shandong. In winter, look for the snow line as you cross the Yellow River into the colder northern regions.
