Which side of the plane to sit from Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the Yangtze River crossing, the coastal transition near the Bohai Sea, and a clearer perspective of the Shenyang urban landscape during the final approach.
Yangtze River Crossing
A stunning aerial view of China's longest river as the flight path crosses the Wuhan-Jiujiang corridor.
Wuhan Metropolis
Glimpses of the massive 'Triple City' cluster and its numerous bridges spanning the Yangtze.
Bohai Bay Coastline
Visual transition from the mainland to the coastal waters of the Bohai Sea near the Liaodong Peninsula.
Liaoning Industrial Hubs
Large-scale industrial infrastructure and logistics parks characteristic of the Northeast's economy.
Shenyang City View
Excellent views of the Hun River and the dense high-rises of downtown Shenyang during descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset colors reflecting off the Yangtze and the Bohai Sea. Watch closely after passing the Yellow River for the coastal shift, and keep your camera ready for the final 15 minutes of the flight as you enter the Shenyang metro area.
Zhengzhou Cityscape
Panoramic views of the capital of Henan Province and its extensive urban layout.
Taihang Mountains
Distant silhouettes of the dramatic mountain range that borders the North China Plain.
North China Agriculture
Mesmerizing geometric patterns of the vast agricultural fields across central China.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides a stable view of the inland plains and the distant high-altitude terrain of the west.
