Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the scenic transition from the Yangtze River Delta to the Yellow Sea coastline, including potential views of the Shandong Peninsula and the Bohai Strait islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏙️

Yangtze Delta Urban Sprawl

The dense, interconnected cities of the Yangtze River Delta immediately following departure.

🏖️

Yellow Sea Coastline

Stunning views where the land meets the Yellow Sea, highlighting the unique geography of the coastline.

⛰️

Shandong Coastal Cliffs

Rugged terrain and coastal features of the Shandong Peninsula as the flight path moves over the sea.

🏝️

Miaodao Islands

The picturesque chain of islands stretching across the Bohai Strait between Yantai and Dalian.

🌉

Dalian Xinghai Square

Aerial view of one of the world's largest city squares and the cross-sea bridge during final approach.

Choose the right side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Yellow Sea. This side is particularly scenic during the approach into Dalian, as it often provides a panoramic view of the city skyline, the Xinghai Bridge, and the coastal cliffs of the Liaodong Peninsula. Seasonal clarity is best in autumn and winter.

🌊

Yangtze River Crossing

Dramatic aerial views of the wide Yangtze River shortly after takeoff from Changzhou.

💧

Hongze Lake

One of China's largest freshwater lakes visible as the plane tracks north through Jiangsu.

🏙️

Jinan and Inland Plains

The expansive agricultural plains of northern China and distant silhouettes of inland mountain ranges.

🚢

Bohai Bay

The deep blue waters of the Bohai Sea as you leave the Shandong coastline behind.

🏗️

Dalian Port Infrastructure

Industrial shipyards and heavy machinery visible during the final descent into Zhoushuizi.
