FUGDLC

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

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Shandong Peninsula's rolling landscapes and the dramatic transition from land to the Bohai Sea upon approaching the Liaodong Peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Taishan Mountain Range

Distant views of the sacred Mount Tai rising above the surrounding Shandong topography.

🌾

Shandong Hinterlands

Vibrant rural landscapes characterized by diverse crop rotations and traditional village structures.

🌊

Laizhou Bay

The sparkling blue waters of the Bohai Sea appearing as the flight begins its maritime crossing.

🏝️

Changshan Islands

A chain of small, rugged islands visible in the Bohai Strait shortly before the descent into Dalian.

🏙️

Dalian Coastal Skyline

Sweeping views of the Jinzhou District and the modern skyscrapers lining Dalian's jagged coastline.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the coastline. During the final 15 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the stunning sea-to-land transition as the plane aligns with the Zhoushuizi runway.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Huai River System

Complex networks of canals and wetlands surrounding the Fuyang region shortly after takeoff.

🚜

North China Plain

A vast, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields stretching toward the horizon in Henan and Shandong.

🏙️

Dezhou Urban Cluster

Dense urban development and industrial zones visible as the flight traverses the Hebei-Shandong border.

⛴️

Western Bohai Bay

Distal views of the industrial shipping lanes leading toward the major ports of Tianjin.

Sit on the left if you are flying during a late afternoon departure to witness the sunset over the inland plains. Use a polarizing filter to capture the distinct textures of the agricultural grids through the haze.
