Which side of the plane to sit from Lianyungang Airport (Lianyungang) to Zhoushan Airport (Zhoushan)?

Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled vantage point of the East China Sea, the massive Yangtze River estuary, and the spectacular descent over the Zhoushan Archipelago's emerald islands.

Zhoushan Archipelago

A stunning aerial view of hundreds of green islands and fishing villages during the final approach.

Sit on the left for the best views of the sunrise on morning flights. As the plane descends into HSN, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the muddy river discharge and the clear blue ocean waters near the islands.
