Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Taiyuan Wusu Airport (Taiyuan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting for photography (avoiding direct southern sun glare) and provides an exceptional view of the Dalian city skyline and the rugged northern sections of the Taihang Mountains.
Dalian Cityscape
A stunning aerial view of Dalian's dense urban core, Xinghai Square, and the bustling port facilities during departure.
Bohai Bay Coastline
The sweeping curve of the northern Bohai coastline, often revealing the massive salt pans and aquaculture zones of Hebei.
Hebei Agricultural Grids
Perfectly geometric patterns of the North China Plain's farmlands, transitioning from green to gold depending on the season.
Northern Taihang Peaks
Sharp, jagged mountain ridges that offer high-contrast shadows and spectacular terrain views during the mid-flight cruise.
Industrial Hubs
Aerial perspectives of Tangshan and the industrial corridors leading toward the mountainous interior.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun remains on the opposite side, providing clear, soft lighting for the mountains. In winter, look for snow-capped peaks in the Taihang range which create a striking contrast with the brown Loess soil.
Lushunkou District
The historic Port Arthur at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, visible shortly after takeoff.
Bohai Shipping Lanes
Active maritime routes filled with cargo ships and tankers crossing the Bohai Strait toward the Yellow Sea.
Central Taihang Escarpment
Dramatic vertical cliffs and deep canyons that define the boundary between the North China Plain and the Loess Plateau.
Fen River Valley
The lifeline of Shanxi province, winding through the landscape as the aircraft descends into Taiyuan.
Sit toward the rear to avoid the wing for the best view of Lushunkou. On afternoon flights, expect significant glare as the sun moves south; window shades may be necessary until the descent phase.
