Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior inland views, including major urban centers like Shenyang and the prestigious Mount Tai, alongside the dramatic transition from the northern plains to the Huai River basin.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏢

Shenyang Metro Area

A comprehensive view of the dense urban sprawl and industrial landmarks of Liaoning's capital city.

⛰️

Mount Tai (Tai Shan)

The silhouette of China's most sacred mountain rising prominently from the flat North China Plain.

🌾

North China Plain

An endless patchwork of agricultural fields that changes color dramatically between the green of spring and the gold of harvest.

💧

Huai River Crossing

The crossing of the major geographical boundary between Northern and Southern China, marked by distinct changes in landscape.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the inland mountains. Keep a sharp eye out for Mount Tai approximately midway through the flight. The lack of haze in late autumn or winter offers the clearest views of the mountain ranges and the massive urban clusters of the interior.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Bohai Gulf Coast

Aerial perspectives of the Liaodong Peninsula where the land meets the deep blue of the Bohai Sea.

🏙️

Coastal Dalian

Distant views of Dalian's port infrastructure and the tip of the peninsula during the descent south.

🚜

Jiangsu Aquaculture

A complex grid of fish ponds and water-rich agricultural zones characteristic of northern Jiangsu province.

🚢

Yellow Sea Shipping

Active shipping lanes and cargo vessels visible as the flight tracks parallel to the eastern coastline.

Choose the left side for morning departures to witness the sunrise over the sea. This side provides a better view of the coastal geography and the intricate water networks of the Yangtze River Delta approach. In winter, look for ice formations along the northern Bohai coastline.
