Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Weifang Airport (Weifang)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most scenic transition from the urban landscape of Dalian to the scattered islands of the Bohai Strait and finally the unique geometric salt pans near Weifang.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Dalian Cityscape

Aerial view of Dalian's dense urban core and the expansive Xinghai Square area shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Miaodao Archipelago

The 'Pearl of the North' islands appearing like stepping stones across the center of the Bohai Strait.

🧂

Laizhou Bay Salt Pans

Vibrant, geometric patterns of massive salt evaporation ponds near the coastline of northern Weifang.

🪁

Weifang Industrial Zone

The developing outskirts of the Kite Capital, featuring modern industrial architecture and logistics hubs.

Sit on the right for the best view of the Miaodao Islands mid-flight. For photography, the late afternoon sun creates dramatic shadows on the Weifang salt pans, highlighting their unique textures.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Bohai Sea Expanse

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue waters of the inner Bohai Sea during the mid-flight crossing.

🚢

Maritime Shipping Lanes

Heavy cargo traffic and tankers navigating the primary shipping channels into the Port of Dalian.

🏖️

Longkou Coastline

The northern tip of the Shandong Peninsula comes into view as the aircraft approaches the mainland.

Choose this side on morning flights to keep the sun behind you for clearer visibility. It is also better for spotting large vessels in the shipping lanes near the Liaodong Peninsula.
