DOYHRB

Which side of the plane to sit from Dongying Shengli Airport (Dongying) to Taiping Airport (Harbin)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of maritime scenery and urban landscapes, featuring the transition from the Bohai Sea to the bustling cities of the Northeast.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Bohai Gulf Crossing

Vast turquoise waters dotted with cargo ships and offshore oil drilling platforms.

🗾

Liaodong Peninsula

The rugged coastline and hilly terrain of Dalian's northern periphery.

🏢

Shenyang Skyline

A clear view of the high-rises and historical layouts of Liaoning's capital city.

🏞️

Songhua River Meanders

The final descent follows the silver curves of the Songhua River leading into Harbin.

Highly recommended for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the sea. For the best approach views into Harbin, a window seat behind the wing provides an unobstructed view of the river system.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🌾

Yellow River Delta

The intricate sediment patterns where the Yellow River meets the Bohai Sea shortly after takeoff.

🦀

Panjin Red Beach

Vivid crimson wetlands formed by Sueda salsa, particularly striking during the autumn months.

🚜

Northeast China Plain

Endless stretches of fertile 'black earth' farmland with neat geometric crop patterns.

🏙️

Changchun Urban Area

Aerial view of the 'City of Automobiles' and its green forest-like urban planning.

Sit on the left if flying in September or October to witness the Red Beach at its peak color. Evening flights on this side offer great sunset views over the Manchurian interior.
