Dalian Cityscape
Aerial views of Dalian's modern skyline, Xinghai Square, and the intricate coastline during takeoff.
Yellow River Delta
The sprawling, vibrant wetlands of the National Nature Reserve, known for its unique 'Red Carpet' of salt-marsh plants.
Shengli Oilfield
A dense network of offshore platforms, coastal drilling rigs, and service roads unique to this region.
The Yellow Dragon
The iconic visual boundary where the sediment-rich Yellow River water clashes with the blue sea water.
Coastal Salterns
Geometric, multicolored salt evaporation ponds that create a mosaic-like pattern near the Dongying coast.
Sit on the right for the most iconic views of the Yellow River Estuary. For the best photography of the 'Yellow Meets Blue' phenomenon, choose a flight during the late afternoon when the sun highlights the sediment contrast. Visibility is best in late autumn when the delta wetlands turn deep red.
