Bohai Bay Coastline
Expansive views of the Liaodong Bay as the flight tracks northwest along the shoreline.
Jinzhou Port
A bird's-eye view of the massive industrial docks and shipping lanes of this northern maritime hub.
Bijia Mountain
The famous 'Heavenly Bridge,' a natural pebble path connecting the island to the mainland, visible during low tide.
Western Liaoning Ridges
Rugged, ancient mountain formations that define the transition from the coast to the inner plateau.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic coastal geography. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 20 minutes before descent to spot the unique land bridge of Bijia Mountain. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the coastline without sea glare.

Dalian Hinterland
The dense urban architecture and expanding residential districts of northern Dalian during initial climb.
Liaoning Plains
A patchwork of agricultural fields and rural settlements characterizing the interior of the peninsula.
Phoenix Mountain
The jagged peaks and sacred Buddhist temple complexes located just east of Chaoyang city.
Daling River
The wide, sandy bed of the Daling River as it snakes through the valley towards the city.
The right side is best for viewing Phoenix Mountain (Fenghuangshan) during the final approach. This side is preferred for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the sea, offering better clarity of the inland mountain ranges and river valleys.
