Which side of the plane to sit from Shubuling Airport (Linyi) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more scenic transition from the Shandong mainland to the Bohai Strait, featuring the historic Miaodao Islands and the mountainous Lüshunkou district during the descent into Dalian.

Linyi Urban Center
Aerial view of the Yi River and the modern skyline of Linyi immediately after takeoff from Shubuling.
Shandong Coastline
Watch the transition from land to sea as the flight crosses the northern coast of the Shandong Peninsula near Weifang or Longkou.
Miaodao Archipelago
A stunning string of islands stretching across the Bohai Strait, acting as stepping stones between the two peninsulas.
Lüshunkou (Port Arthur)
The historic naval port and rugged terrain of the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula during the final approach.
Dalian Cityscape
Panoramic views of the hills and high-rise developments of western Dalian as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
For the best experience, select a seat in front of the wing (Rows 5-10) to have an unobstructed view of the Miaodao Islands. If flying in the morning, the left side will have better lighting with the sun behind the aircraft or to the east. Keep an eye out for the distinct change in water color where the Yellow Sea meets the Bohai Sea.

Shubuling Airfield
A clear view of the Linyi airport infrastructure and the surrounding agricultural plains of southern Shandong.
The Yellow Sea
Vast stretches of deep blue water with frequent sightings of commercial cargo vessels and fishing fleets.
Dalian Port Facilities
Views of the massive container terminals and shipping infrastructure that make Dalian a major maritime hub.
Jinshatan Coastal Area
Golden sandy beaches and coastal resorts visible if the flight path tracks slightly east of the city center.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it stays in the shade, reducing glare for photography. During the winter months, look for sea ice formations along the coastline. On the approach to DLC, watch for the long breakwaters and the busy maritime traffic entering the Dalian Bay.
