Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular aerial perspective of China's eastern coastline, the Bohai Sea, and the dramatic approach over the Liaodong Peninsula and Dalian.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚢

Yangtze River Estuary

The massive scale of the river meeting the East China Sea, often filled with cargo ships.

🏖️

Qingdao Coastline

Beautiful views of the Laoshan mountains and the red-roofed architecture of the coastal city.

🌊

Bohai Sea Crossing

A long stretch over the deep blue waters as the plane cuts across the Gulf of Bohai.

🏙️

Dalian & Liaodong

Striking views of the Dalian port and the rugged, indented coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula.

🏗️

Yingkou Port

Massive crane structures and shipping terminals visible during the initial descent into Shenyang.

This is the premier side for coastal scenery. During sunset flights, the sea reflections are breathtaking. During the descent into SHE, the plane often banks right, providing a panoramic view of the Liaoning industrial landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Taihu Lake

One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible shortly after departure from Hangzhou.

⛰️

Mount Tai

On clear days, the silhouette of this sacred peak in Shandong rises above the surrounding plains.

🚜

North China Plain

A vast geometric tapestry of agricultural fields and industrial clusters across Jiangsu and Shandong.

🌾

Yellow River Delta

The intricate sediment patterns where the 'Mother River' of China meanders toward the sea.

🏢

Tianjin Outskirts

Views of the sprawling urban development and logistics hubs on the western edge of the Bohai Bay.

Sit on this side for the best lighting during morning flights to avoid direct glare. Keep an eye out for the crossing of the Yangtze River early in the flight; it is a massive landmark regardless of the altitude.
