Which side of the plane to sit from Chaoyang Airport (Chaoyang) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a commanding view of the Liaodong Bay coastline and the dramatic maritime approach into the tip of the Dalian peninsula.
Bohai Sea
The vast blue expanse of Liaodong Bay dotted with maritime traffic and cargo ships.
Huludao Coastline
Views of industrial shipyards and rocky coastal formations along the western corridor of the flight path.
Dalian Skyline
Panoramic views of modern high-rises and coastal landmarks like Xinghai Square during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the sun reflecting off the Bohai Sea. On the final approach into DLC, this side often yields superior views of Dalian's bridge networks and coastal parks, especially if landing from the west.
Nulu'erhu Mountains
Rugged mountain ranges surrounding Chaoyang with distinctive geological folds visible shortly after takeoff.
Liaohe River Delta
Intricate river patterns and the sprawling wetlands of the Panjin region below.
Jinzhou District
The northern sprawling urban and industrial landscape of the Dalian metropolitan area during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the inland topography. During autumn, look closely near Panjin to spot the crimson hues of the famous Red Beach wetlands.
