Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior aerial perspective of the Yangtze River Delta, a dramatic crossing of the Bohai Sea, and the rugged coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Yangtze River Mouth

Witness the massive scale of the Yangtze River as it empties into the East China Sea near Shanghai.

⛴️

Bohai Gulf Crossing

A significant portion of the flight crosses the Bohai Sea, offering views of busy shipping lanes and offshore oil rigs.

🏖️

Liaodong Peninsula

Clear views of the jagged coastline of Dalian and the southwestern tip of Liaoning province.

🏢

Shenyang Metro Area

The dense industrial and commercial landscape of Shenyang is often visible during the final third of the journey.

🏞️

Liao River Basin

The winding path of the Liao River as it flows toward the sea, surrounded by dense wetlands.

The right side is unbeatable for maritime enthusiasts; look for the massive cargo ships in the Bohai Sea. If flying in the late afternoon, this side provides excellent 'golden hour' lighting on the Liaoning coast. Be sure to look out for the unique salt pans and aquaculture farms along the Bohai coastline during the descent phase.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Hangzhou Cityscape

A panoramic view of the Qiantang River and the sprawling urban landscape of Hangzhou immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Mount Tai

On clear days, the silhouette of China's most sacred mountain, Taishan, can be spotted in central Shandong province.

🌾

North China Plain

The intricate mosaic of agricultural fields and canal systems that characterize the fertile plains of Anhui and Jiangsu.

🧱

Great Wall Sections

Faint lines of the ancient Great Wall may be visible along the mountainous border between Hebei and Liaoning provinces.

🐎

Horqin Grassland

The transition into the vast, rolling grasslands of Inner Mongolia as you descend into Tongliao.

Choose this side if you are flying in the morning to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. It is ideal for those interested in the cultural geography of the North China Plain. Watch for the sharp contrast in terrain as the flat agricultural lands transition into the jagged mountains north of the Hai River basin.
