Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Bohai Strait crossing and the iconic Yellow River winding through the landscape during the approach into Jinan.
Bohai Strait
A clear view of the maritime corridor between the Liaodong and Shandong peninsulas.
Longkou Coastline
Observe the sandy beaches and fishing ports of the northern Shandong coastline.
The Yellow River
The flight's primary highlight: the massive, sediment-rich brown waters of the 'Mother River' of China.
North China Plain
A patchwork of agricultural fields showing seasonal color changes from gold to green.
Jinan Urban Landscape
Final views of Jinan's dense northern districts and the Huashan mountain area before touchdown.
This is the superior side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. The Yellow River crossing is best viewed about 10-15 minutes before landing; look for the distinct color contrast of the river water.
Dalian Bay
Aerial view of the Dalian International Conference Center and the city's modern coastal skyline during departure.
Yellow Sea Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue waters where the Yellow Sea meets the sky.
Outer Miaodao Islands
Distant clusters of small islands appearing as emerald dots in the Bohai Strait.
Zibo Industrial Belt
Large-scale industrial facilities and urban grid patterns as the flight moves inland toward Jinan.
Recommended for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the sea. Keep an eye out for the Dalian Port container terminals immediately after takeoff.
