DLCJMU

Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Jiamusi Airport (Jiamusi)?

Our Recommendation
8.1

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the scenic Liaodong coastline upon departure, clearer views of the Changchun metropolitan area, and the majestic distant vistas of the Changbai mountain foothills.

Right Side Highlights
8.1
🌊

Liaodong Coastline

Rugged coastal features and small islands in the Yellow Sea visible during the initial ascent.

🏢

Changchun Cityscape

A clear view of Jilin's capital city, known for its wide boulevards and distinct urban planning.

🏔️

Changbai Mountain Range

On clear days, the distant eastern horizon reveals the high peaks bordering North Korea.

🌾

Sanjiang Plain

The vast, fertile 'Great Northern Wilderness' as it transitions into a sea of green or gold rice paddies.

🛥️

Songhua River Confluence

Spectacular views of the winding river systems near Jiamusi during the final descent phase.

The right side is ideal for morning departures when the sun illuminates the landscape from the east. In winter, this side provides breathtaking views of the 'snow world' across the Sanjiang Plain and frozen river arteries.

Left Side Highlights
7.3
🌿

Liaohe Delta Wetlands

Extensive marshlands and the unique 'Red Beach' ecosystem near Panjin visible shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Western Shenyang

A sprawling view of the industrial heart and urban expansion of Liaoning's provincial capital.

🌾

Northeast China Plain

An endless patchwork of grain fields that showcase the scale of China's northern agricultural hub.

💧

Songhua River Meanders

Intricate river loops and oxbow lakes reflecting the sky as you cross into Heilongjiang province.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. During autumn, keep a sharp eye out for the deep red patches of the Panjin wetlands shortly after leaving the Dalian area.
