Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the East China coastline, the expansive Yangtze River crossing, and the scenic Poyang Lake region, providing a diverse mix of maritime and terrestrial landscapes.
Dalian Peninsula
Aerial view of Dalian's rugged coastline and the massive Cross-sea Bridge immediately after departure.
Shandong Coastline
Bird's-eye view of the eastern tip of the Shandong Peninsula, including the coastal cities of Weihai and Yantai.
Yangtze River Mouth
Crossing the massive Yangtze River near the delta, where you can see the scale of international shipping traffic.
Poyang Lake
Views of China's largest freshwater lake, showing seasonal water level changes and surrounding wetlands.
Mount Lu (Lushan)
The famous mist-shrouded peaks of Lushan National Park are visible as the flight traverses Jiangxi province.
Pearl River Delta
The dense, shimmering urban sprawl of the Greater Bay Area during the final descent into Guangzhou.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur. On morning flights, the sun will be behind the plane or on the left, providing excellent saturated colors of the Yellow Sea and inland lakes. The Yangtze River crossing typically occurs roughly 70 minutes after takeoff.
Bohai Bay
Views of the western Bohai Sea and the numerous offshore oil drilling platforms.
Yellow River Delta
The distinct yellow-brown sediment plumes where the Yellow River enters the sea near Dongying.
Mount Tai (Taishan)
On very clear days, the silhouette of this sacred mountain can be seen rising from the Shandong plains.
Ganzhou Basin
The characteristic red-soil hills and dense forestry of southern Jiangxi and northern Guangdong.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged mountain range that serves as the natural climatic divide between central and southern China.
Guangzhou Northern Suburbs
Views of the Baiyun District mountain parks and the expanding northern residential hubs of Guangzhou.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the inland mountains. Look for the distinct 'yellow' water of the Yellow River Delta about 30-40 minutes into the flight. Note that smog over central China can sometimes obscure the view of Mount Tai.
