Which side of the plane to sit from Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the transition from inland rivers to the rugged coastline of the Yellow Sea and the beautiful island chains of the Bohai Strait.
Poyang Lake Basin
Expansive views of the massive wetland system and the Gan River delta during the initial climb.
Yangtze River Delta Edge
Observe the massive shipping traffic on the Yangtze River near Nanjing and the surrounding water networks.
Qingdao Coastal View
Panoramic views of the rugged Shandong coastline and the yellow waters of the sea meeting the land.
Bohai Strait Islands
A stunning chain of islands, including the Changshan Islands, visible as the plane crosses from Shandong to Liaoning.
Dalian Port and Bay
Spectacular views of one of North China's busiest maritime hubs and the Xinghai Bridge during descent.
The right side is essential for seeing the Bohai Strait crossing. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastal features. During the descent into DLC, the right side usually provides a closer look at the Dalian city skyline and the vast port facilities.
Western Poyang Lake
Catch glimpses of the western banks of China's largest freshwater lake shortly after takeoff from Nanchang.
Hefei Urban Area
View the rapid urban expansion and industrial clusters of Anhui's capital city from cruising altitude.
North China Plain
A vast geometric tapestry of agricultural fields stretching across the horizon through Shandong province.
Yellow River Crossing
Spot the silt-heavy waters of the 'Mother River' as it snakes toward the Bohai Sea.
Sit on the left for a better view of the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. Watch for the dramatic change in soil color and terrain as the flight moves from the lush south to the more arid north. Keep an eye out for the Jinzhou Bay area as you enter the Liaodong Peninsula.
