Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more consistent view of the Chinese coastline, including the Dalian peninsula, the Shandong coast near Qingdao, and the expansive Yangtze River Delta.

Dalian Urban Coast
Excellent views of Xinghai Square and the rugged cliffs of the Liaodong Peninsula during takeoff.
Shandong Peninsula
Aerial views of the Qingdao coastline and the mountainous terrain of the Laoshan district.
Yangtze River Mouth
Observe the dramatic sediment plume where the Yangtze River's muddy waters meet the blue sea.
Taihu Lake Basin
The vast expanse of Taihu Lake and the dense canal networks of the southern Jiangsu province.
Sit on the right for morning flights for the best lighting on the coastline. Keep a close watch roughly 40 minutes into the flight for the transition over the Yangtze River, where the water color change is most prominent. During the approach to NGB, this side offers views of the lush Siming Mountains.
Book Hotels in NinboYellow Sea Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue waters of the Yellow Sea shortly after departing Dalian.
Shanghai Pudong Skyline
Distal views of the Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Tower if the flight path tracks slightly offshore.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
A stunning aerial perspective of the massive S-shaped trans-oceanic bridge connecting Jiaxing and Ningbo.
Zhoushan Archipelago
Clusters of islands and busy shipping lanes dotting the East China Sea during the final descent.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct western sun. On clear days, look for the distinct 'S' curve of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge which is illuminated at night. This side is also better for spotting the dense container shipping traffic heading into the Ningbo-Zhoushan port.
