Which side of the plane to sit from Jiamusi Airport (Jiamusi) to Liuting Airport (Qingdao)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers a more dramatic transition from the vast northern plains to the rugged coastline of the Liaoning Peninsula and the scenic coastal mountains of Qingdao.
Sanjiang Wetlands
Expansive green and gold patterns of the fertile northern plains shortly after takeoff.
Changbai Range
Distant views of the majestic volcanic peaks along the eastern horizon near the border.
Dalian Peninsula
Aerial perspective of the strategic port city and its rugged cliffs as you cross the sea.
Yellow Sea
Vibrant blue waters dotted with international shipping vessels entering the Bohai Strait.
Laoshan Mountain
The highest coastal peak in China, appearing as a dramatic landmark during the Qingdao arrival.
Sit on the left for the best morning light and to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. This side provides a stunning view of the Laoshan mountain range and the Qingdao coastline during the final approach. If flying in winter, look for frozen patches along the northern coastlines.
Songhua River
A massive, winding waterway that defines the geography of the Northeast China region.
Shenyang Metro
The dense urban architecture and industrial sprawl of the major logistics hub in Liaoning.
Liaodong Bay
The western curve of the sea where the land meets the shallow, silt-rich Bohai waters.
Bohai Oil Rigs
Look closely for industrial offshore platforms in the shallow waters of the inner sea.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The massive cross-sea bridge connecting the districts of Qingdao, best seen during descent.
The right side is ideal for sunset views on late afternoon flights. It offers a better perspective of the inner Bohai Sea and the impressive engineering of the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge. Keep an eye out for the industrial landscapes of inland Shandong as the plane turns toward the airport.
