Which side of the plane to sit from Changzhou Benniu Airport (Changzhou) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior as it follows the coastline, offering views of the Yellow Sea, the rugged Shandong Peninsula, and the scenic island chains of the Bohai Strait.
Yellow Sea Coastline
Stunning vistas where the muddy waters of the delta transition into the deep blue of the Yellow Sea.
Coastal Cityscapes
Distant views of major coastal hubs like Lianyungang and the outskirts of the Shandong Peninsula cities.
Changshan Archipelago
A beautiful sequence of small islands scattered across the Bohai Strait, visible during the sea crossing.
Liaodong Peninsula
The rugged, indented coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula as the aircraft crosses back over land near Dalian.
Shenyang Skyline
Views of the Hun River and the modern skyscrapers of central Shenyang depending on the landing pattern.
The right side is the 'scenic' choice for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing glare. The 20-minute window while crossing the Bohai Strait is the most visually interesting part of the trip.
Changzhou Urban Grid
Clear views of the dense city planning and industrial sectors of Changzhou immediately after takeoff.
Grand Canal Scenery
Bird's-eye view of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal winding through the northern Jiangsu landscape.
Shandong Interior
The rolling hills and rugged topography of the central Shandong mountain ranges during mid-flight.
Western Bohai Rim
Distant views of the massive port infrastructures and industrial hubs along the western edge of the Bohai Bay.
Northeast Agricultural Plains
The vast, geometric patterns of the fertile Liaoning plains during the final descent into Shenyang.
The left side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the inland plains. It provides a better look at the transition from the watery landscapes of Jiangsu to the dry, mountainous terrain of Shandong.
