Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the inland landscape, including the western edge of the Shandong Peninsula and a breathtaking approach into Huangshan where the famous granite peaks and UNESCO-listed villages come into view during descent.
Dalian Cityscape
Aerial view of Dalian's urban density and the bustling Bohai Sea coastline shortly after takeoff.
Shandong Highlands
The rugged terrain of central Shandong, including glimpses of the mountain ranges that define the peninsula's interior.
Chao Lake
A clear view of Hefei's massive neighbor, Chao Lake, which marks the transition into southern Anhui's landscape.
Ancient Huizhou Villages
The iconic white walls and grey tiles of UNESCO-listed villages like Xidi and Hongcun become visible during descent.
Huangshan Massif
The spectacular 'Sea of Clouds' and jagged granite peaks of the Yellow Mountain range during the final approach.
Southern Anhui Forests
Dense, lush green forest cover and tea plantations that characterize the humid subtropical environment of Huangshan.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. Book an afternoon flight to witness the 'Golden Hour' lighting up the granite faces of the Huangshan mountains. During the descent into TXN, the plane often banks, providing a sweeping panoramic view of the traditional Huizhou architecture and steep forested valleys.
Yellow Sea Coastline
Expansive views of the sparkling Yellow Sea immediately after departing Dalian's Liaodong Peninsula.
Qingdao Port Area
Distal views of the massive shipping lanes and industrial coastal infrastructure of the Shandong coast.
Yangtze River Crossing
A dramatic crossing of the lower Yangtze River, showcasing the winding waterway and its heavy barge traffic.
Hongze Lake
One of the largest freshwater lakes in China, visible as a vast blue expanse amidst the green Jiangsu plains.
Mount Jiuhua
The silhouette of one of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism may be visible in the distance during the final leg.
Sit on the left if you prefer coastal aesthetics and the geometry of the Yangtze River delta. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, lighting up the coastline without glare. Watch for the massive bridge networks connecting the northern and southern banks of the Yangtze.
