Which side of the plane to sit from Taiping Airport (Harbin) to Yancheng Airport (Yancheng)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of urban landmarks, the crossing of the Bohai Sea, and the transition into the lush waterway networks of the Jiangsu province.

Right Side Highlights

🌉

Bohai Sea Crossing

Aerial perspective of the narrowest point between the Liaoning and Shandong peninsulas.

⛰ïļ

Shandong Highlands

Rugged mountain terrain and rolling hills that dominate the central part of the Shandong province.

ðŸ›ķ

Jiangsu Water Networks

The intricate mosaic of ponds, rivers, and the historic Grand Canal system near Yancheng.

ðŸŒū

Agricultural Patchwork

Vast stretches of organized farmland that change colors dramatically between the summer green and autumn gold.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight while capturing the detail of the North China Plain. During the middle of the flight, keep your eyes peeled for the crossing over the Bohai Sea, which provides a striking visual contrast between the rugged coastline and the deep blue water.
