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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a direct view of the historic Lushun district, the string of islands across the Bohai Strait, and the famous Mount Huaguo upon arrival in Lianyungang.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Lushun District

View the strategic tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, historically known as Port Arthur, with its unique naval geography.

🏝️

Miaodao Archipelago

A stunning chain of islands stretching across the Bohai Strait, connecting the Liaodong and Shandong peninsulas.

⛰️

Mount Huaguo

The 'Mountain of Flowers and Fruit' from Journey to the West, visible as a prominent green massif near Lianyungang.

🏖️

Shandong Coastline

The rugged western coastline of the Shandong Peninsula, featuring small coves and coastal fishing villages.

Sit on the right for the most geographically diverse views. Watch closely 10-15 minutes after takeoff for the Miaodao islands. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses to reduce glare while looking for the peaks of Mount Huaguo during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Dalian Bay

Panoramic view of the Dalian city skyline and the bustling port area immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Yellow Sea Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the vast Yellow Sea where the water meets the sky in a deep blue expanse.

🚢

Lianyungang Port

A bird's eye view of one of China's major maritime gateways and the long sea-crossing bridge.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light reflecting off the Yellow Sea. This side is also better for spotting the massive cargo ships waiting to enter the Haizhou Bay terminals as you descend into Lianyungang.
