DLCLYI

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

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the historic Lushun peninsula, the picturesque Miaodao Islands in the Bohai Strait, and the prominent Mengshan Mountains during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⚓

Lushun Peninsula

Clear views of the strategically significant Port Arthur and the rugged southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.

🏝️

Miaodao Archipelago

A chain of scenic islands scattered across the Bohai Strait, visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🏖️

Laizhou Bay

The broad, curved coastline of the Bohai Sea where the water meets the vast agricultural plains of northern Shandong.

⛰️

Mengshan Mountains

The jagged peaks and ridges of the Mengshan range, one of Shandong's major mountain systems, appearing to the west during descent.

The right side is highly recommended for identifying the Miaodao Islands. For the best photography of the Mengshan Mountains, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun highlights the western slopes. Use a polarizing filter to cut through sea haze over the Bohai Strait.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Dalian Urban Core

Aerial view of Dalian's dense skyscrapers and the bustling Dalian Bay area during the initial climb.

🌊

Yellow Sea Horizon

A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight crosses the strait between Liaoning and Shandong provinces.

⚓

Longkou Port

Observation of the massive port facilities and artificial islands along the northern Shandong coastline.

💧

Yi River Valley

The winding Yi River provides a scenic silver ribbon as the aircraft descends into the Linyi basin.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight. This side provides a clearer view of Dalian's city planning and the eastern coastal developments of Shandong as you cross the mainland.
