Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Changzhou Benniu Airport (Changzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the scenic coastline of the Shandong Peninsula and the expansive wetlands of Jiangsu, culminating in a spectacular crossing of the Yangtze River.
Bohai Strait Islands
Shortly after takeoff from Dalian, look down to see the chain of islands stretching across the strait toward the Shandong Peninsula.
Qingdao Coastline
Aerial views of the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge and the red-roofed architecture of Qingdao's historic districts along the Yellow Sea.
Yancheng Coastal Wetlands
Vast stretches of protected marshlands known for being a migratory path for rare birds, featuring unique tidal patterns.
Yangtze River Delta
A magnificent view of the world's third-longest river as it nears the East China Sea, dotted with massive cargo ships.
Suzhou-Wuxi Corridor
As the flight descends, the dense, modern urban sprawl and canals of the southern Jiangsu region become visible.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun reflecting off the Yellow Sea. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the Yangtze River crossing, which is a major highlight of this route. The coastal wetlands are best viewed in late autumn when the vegetation turns reddish-purple.
Dalian Port
A great view of one of China's most important northern industrial ports and the modern skyline of Dalian city.
Shandong Highlands
Rugged terrain and agricultural terraces of the central Shandong province, offering high-contrast textures.
Lianyungang Harbor
View the terminus of the New Eurasian Land Bridge and the mountainous islands just off the Jiangsu coast.
Ge Lake
A large, shallow lake near Changzhou that provides a serene landscape during the final approach to the airport.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the inland plains. Watch for the Grand Canal during the mid-flight segment; it appears as a thin, straight silver line cutting through the agricultural landscape of northern Jiangsu.
