JNGSHE

Which side of the plane to sit from Jining Qufu Airport (Jining) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?

Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of scenic transitions, featuring the rugged hills of Shandong, the vastness of the Bohai Sea, and a clear view of the Liaodong Peninsula coastline before descending into Shenyang.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
⛰️

Central Shandong Highlands

Rugged terrain and rolling hills located east of the flight path, providing a sharp contrast to the flat plains.

🏢

Zibo & Weifang

A bird's-eye view of the massive industrial corridors and urban centers of central Shandong province.

🌊

Bohai Sea Crossing

A significant overwater segment offering views of the deep blue waters and the occasional offshore oil platform.

⚓

Liaodong Peninsula

The dramatic coastline of the peninsula, featuring rocky inlets, bays, and the coastal city of Dalian in the distance.

🌉

Hun River Meanders

Beautiful views of the river cutting through Shenyang city as the plane aligns with the runway at Taoxian.

Morning flights offer the best lighting for the right side, though you may encounter some glare. This side is particularly spectacular during the winter when the Bohai Sea coastline can feature significant sea ice near the shore. Aim for a seat in the first few rows for an unobstructed view of the Shenyang skyline during landing.

🌾

North China Plain

An endless patchwork of agricultural fields and traditional village clusters stretching toward the horizon.

🏙️

Tianjin Binhai Area

Distant views of the massive port infrastructure and urban sprawl along the northern Bohai rim.

🚩

Panjin Red Beach

If visibility is high during the autumn months, the distinctive crimson hue of the Liaohe Delta wetlands is visible.

🌊

Liaodong Bay

The western waters of the Bohai Sea, often dotted with cargo ships heading toward the port of Yingkou.

🏙️

West Shenyang

The industrial outskirts and dense residential blocks of the Tiexi District during the final approach.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. In the afternoon, this side provides excellent lighting for photography without direct sun glare. Look out for the Liaohe River mouth, which creates intricate patterns in the silt as it enters the sea.
