JMUDLC

Which side of the plane to sit from Jiamusi Airport (Jiamusi) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the major metropolitan skylines of Northeast China, including Harbin, Changchun, and Shenyang, along with a spectacular coastal approach over Bohai Bay.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌆

Harbin Skyline

A clear view of the 'Ice City' and its distinctive architecture along the Songhua River banks.

🌳

Changchun Greenery

The planned urban layout of the 'Forest City' with its expansive parks and boulevards.

🏙️

Shenyang Metropolis

A stunning perspective of the dense skyscraper clusters in the central business district.

🚢

Bohai Bay Coastline

The dramatic meeting of the land and the Bohai Sea as the aircraft descends towards Dalian.

🏗️

Dalian Port

Aerial views of the massive shipping terminals and busy maritime traffic of the Dalian port area.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while capturing the urban centers. As the flight approaches Dalian, look out for the shimmering reflection of the sun on Bohai Bay. This side is particularly scenic during the descent when the rugged coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula becomes visible.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

Sanjiang Plain

Vast expanses of fertile wetlands and agricultural fields at the start of the journey.

🌊

Songhua River Meanders

The winding path of the Songhua River as it snakes through the Heilongjiang landscape.

🏔️

Wanda Mountains

Distant views of the forested mountain ranges bordering the eastern edge of the plains.

🏙️

Eastern Shenyang

Aerial views of the industrial outskirts and developing districts of Liaoning's capital.

🏖️

Yellow Sea Horizon

The deep blue waters of the Yellow Sea appearing as the flight nears the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Sanjiang Plain. It provides a softer light for photographing the intricate river patterns and the distant eastern mountain ranges. In winter, this side showcases the 'frost forests' and snowy plains beautifully.
