Which side of the plane to sit from Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of China's major water bodies, including an immediate aerial perspective of Poyang Lake after takeoff and a stunning crossing of the Bohai Strait with views of the Dalian peninsula.
Search flights from KHN to SHE
Poyang Lake
Spectacular views of China's largest freshwater lake shortly after departure from Nanchang.
Yangtze River Delta
The busy shipping arteries and intricate canal systems of the lower Yangtze region.
Shandong Coastline
The rugged interface where the Shandong Peninsula meets the Yellow Sea near Qingdao and Yantai.
Miaodao Archipelago
A beautiful chain of islands stretching across the Bohai Strait between Yantai and Dalian.
Dalian Peninsula
Panoramic views of the Dalian coastline and port facilities as the flight approaches the Liaoning coast.
The right side is highly recommended for the crossing of the Bohai Sea. Aim for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind the aircraft (to the west), which illuminates the coastline and islands perfectly. In winter, keep an eye out for sea ice near the Liaodong Bay coastline.

Dabie Mountains
Rugged, forested peaks along the Anhui-Hubei border visible during the initial climb phase.
Hefei Cityscape
The expanding urban sprawl of Anhui's capital city, punctuated by its growing skyline.
Yellow River Bend
The sediment-rich, golden-hued waters of the Yellow River as it snakes through the Shandong plains.
Tianjin Port Distant View
On clear days, the massive industrial infrastructure of the Bohai Economic Rim is visible to the northwest.
Sit on the left if you prefer inland urban landscapes and the dramatic transition from the southern mountains to the northern plains. During morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
