Which side of the plane to sit from Lianyungang Airport (Lianyungang) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a scenic journey along the coastline of the Shandong Peninsula, providing views of major coastal cities and the iconic Mount Lao before crossing the sea to Dalian.
Haizhou Bay
The departure path provides a clear view of the Lianyungang coastline and the sprawling industrial port area.
Qingdao Coastline
Vibrant views of the 'Sailing City' skyline and the distinctive red-roofed architecture of the old town.
Mount Lao
The highest peak on China's coast, visible as a dramatic granitic formation against the blue sea.
Dalian Cross-Sea Bridge
During the final approach into DLC, the massive Xinghai Bay Bridge spans across the southern coastline.
Xinghai Square
A bird's-eye view of one of the largest city squares in the world as the plane lines up for landing.
For the best experience, choose a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On late afternoon flights, the left side is perfect for watching the sunset over the Shandong hills. Keep your camera ready as you pass the tip of the peninsula for the contrast between the green mountains and the deep blue Bohai Sea.
Yellow Sea Horizon
A vast, uninterrupted view of the deep blue Yellow Sea with the sun reflecting off the waves.
Bohai Shipping Lanes
Witness the heavy maritime traffic consisting of cargo ships and tankers navigating toward North China ports.
Changshan Archipelago
A series of small, emerald-colored islands scattered in the sea as you approach the Liaodong Peninsula.
Dalian Port Terminals
Large-scale industrial views of the container docks and shipyards on the eastern side of the city.
Bangchuidao Scenic Area
The rugged islets and luxury coastal retreats on the eastern edge of Dalian are visible during the descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the water. While the mid-flight is mostly sea, the arrival phase offers unique perspectives of Dalian's heavy industry and peripheral islands. Look for the distinct color change in the water where the Yellow Sea meets the Bohai Sea.
