Yellow Sea Shipping Lanes
Spot numerous cargo ships and tankers navigating one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
Xinghai Bay Bridge
The stunning cross-sea bridge that hugs the southern coast of Dalian, visible during the descent.
Dalian Port Authority
One of the most significant deep-water ports in North China, featuring massive shipyards and container terminals.
Golden Pebble Beach
The unique rock formations and tourist beaches of the Jinshitan Scenic Area as the plane aligns for landing.
Liaodong Peninsula Cliffs
The dramatic, jagged coastline where the mountains of Liaoning meet the sea.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon flights, offering a chance to see the sunset reflecting off the sea. During the descent into DLC, the flight path often curves around the southern tip of the city, providing a 'front row' view of the coastal skyline and the Xinghai district.

Hefei Urban Landscape
Aerial view of the rapidly growing provincial capital and its concentric ring roads shortly after takeoff.
Huai River Basin
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and water channels across the North China Plain.
Bohai Sea Transition
Watch the transition from the industrial coastline of northern Jiangsu into the vast blue of the Bohai Sea.
