Which side of the plane to sit from Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the mid-flight crossing of the Yangtze River and the dramatic coastal transition as the aircraft approaches the Bohai Sea and the Liaoning coastline.

Wuhan Yangtze Bridge
A glimpse of the massive bridges and river traffic where the Han and Yangtze rivers meet.
Bohai Sea Coastline
As you head north, the sparkling waters of the Liaodong Gulf appear on the approach to Shenyang.
Panjin Red Beach
During autumn months, look for the unique crimson-colored wetlands near the Liao River delta.
Shenyang Skyline
A full view of the industrial and historical heart of Northeast China during the final descent.
The right side is essential for seeing the coastal beauty of the Bohai Sea. In late September and October, watch specifically for the Red Beach near Panjin as the plane begins its descent; it is a rare geographical phenomenon that is highly visible from the air. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing for the best views of the Yangtze.
