Search flights from DLC to TAO
Golden Pebble Beach
Catch a glimpse of Dalian's famous Jinshantan coastline immediately after departing from Zhoushuizi Airport.
Bohai Shipping Lanes
Look down at the 'marine highway' where dozens of massive cargo ships transit between the Bohai and Yellow Seas.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
A highlight of the trip; see the world-class engineering of this multi-directional cross-sea bridge during descent.
Qingdao Urban Sprawl
Panoramic views of the high-rise developments and the dense urban architecture of Qingdao's western districts.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the water. Be ready with your camera about 15 minutes before landing to capture the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, which is the most significant landmark on this route. During the winter months, look for sea ice formations along the northern coastlines.

Witness the massive crane clusters and shipping containers of one of North China's busiest ports right after takeoff.
Changshan Archipelago
A cluster of beautiful islands scattered across the Bohai Strait, visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Mount Lao
Known as the 'First Famous Mountain on the Sea,' its granite peaks are visible on the eastern horizon during approach.
Yellow Sea View
Vast blue expanses where the Bohai Sea meets the Yellow Sea, often dotted with fishing vessels.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to capture the sunrise over the sea. This side is better for spotting the rugged peaks of Laoshan as the plane turns for its final approach. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition between the shallow Bohai waters and the deeper Yellow Sea.
