Which side of the plane to sit from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Bohai Sea coastline, major port infrastructures, and the unique wetland landscapes of Liaoning province.
Yellow River Delta
Observe the intricate patterns of the river as it winds through the plains toward the sea.
Bohai Gulf Coast
Panoramic views of the coastline where the North China Plain meets the Bohai Sea.
Qinhuangdao Port
View one of the world's largest coal-shipping ports and the busy maritime traffic in the bay.
Panjin Red Beach
During autumn, look for the distinct crimson hues of the famous coastal wetlands near the mouth of the Liao River.
Shenyang Approach
Excellent views of the sprawling industrial and modern skyline of Shenyang during the descent.
This is the preferred side for coastal enthusiasts. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the sea and wetlands. Look for the 'Red Beach' near Panjin specifically during September and October for the best color.
Yellow River Crossing
Catch a glimpse of the massive, sediment-rich Yellow River shortly after departing from Zhengzhou.
Taihang Mountains
On clear days, the rugged ridges of the Taihang Mountains are visible on the western horizon.
North China Plain
A vast tapestry of agricultural plots and dense urban clusters stretching across Hebei Province.
Liaoxi Corridor
The transition into the hilly terrain of western Liaoning as the plane nears the destination.
Choose the left side for sunset views on evening flights. Keep an eye out for the lights of Beijing and Tianjin in the distance if the flight path tracks slightly westward.
