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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more varied landscape, featuring the industrial hubs of the Northeast, the sacred peaks of Shandong, and the intricate water networks of the Yangtze River Delta.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Shenyang Urban Core

Clear aerial views of the sprawling urban landscape and skyscrapers of the Liaoning provincial capital.

⛰️

Mount Tai (Tai Shan)

On clear days, the silhouette of this sacred mountain rises prominently above the surrounding Shandong plains.

💧

Gaoyou Lake

A massive and serene freshwater lake that signals the final approach into the Yangzhou-Taizhou region.

🛤️

The Grand Canal

The ancient Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal can be seen snaking through the green fields of northern Jiangsu.

🏔️

Qianshan Mountains

Rugged granite peaks located south of Anshan that provide a dramatic contrast to the flat Northeast China Plain.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid glare. Watch for the transition from the dry, brown plains of the north to the lush, water-rich landscapes of the south. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes for the lake views.

Left Side Highlights

🌅

Bohai Marine Vista

Expansive views of the Bohai Sea and the shimmering coastline as the flight transitions from Liaoning to Shandong.

🏙️

Dalian Peninsula

A distant look at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, a strategic maritime gateway with rugged coastal cliffs.

🌾

Jiangsu Salt Pans

Geometric patterns of coastal salt evaporation ponds and aquaculture farms near the Yellow Sea coast.

🏗️

Qingdao Port

One of the world's busiest container ports may be visible depending on the specific airway used over the sea.

For morning flights, the left side will experience direct sunlight, which can be harsh for photography; however, it provides the best view of the sun reflecting off the Yellow Sea during the mid-flight segment.
