LYISHE

Which side of the plane to sit from Shubuling Airport (Linyi) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the Yellow River Delta's unique sediment patterns and the world-famous crimson wetlands of Panjin during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Linyi Urban Area

Aerial view of the Yi River winding through Linyi's rapidly growing city center shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Yellow River Delta

The striking transition where the Yellow River meets the Bohai Sea, featuring complex silt formations and shifting channels.

🛢️

Bohai Bay Oil Fields

Numerous offshore drilling platforms and service vessels dotting the shallow waters of the Bohai Gulf.

🔴

Panjin Red Beach

If the flight path hugs the coast, the vast alkaline wetlands of Panjin appear as a vibrant crimson carpet in autumn.

🌾

Liaoning Farmland

The patchwork of industrial-scale agriculture and rice paddies characteristic of the fertile Northeast China Plain.

Look out about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the Yellow River's mouth. For the best view of the Panjin Red Beach, fly between September and October. Afternoon flights on this side avoid the harsh morning sun glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Central Shandong Hills

Rugged terrain and rolling hills of the Shandong Peninsula visible to the east during the initial cruise phase.

⚓

Laizhou Bay

Views of the sprawling port facilities and coastal aquaculture farms lining the eastern edge of the bay.

🚢

Bohai Strait Traffic

A high-density maritime corridor featuring cargo ships and ferries traveling between Dalian and Yantai.

🌊

Liaodong Peninsula

Distal views of the mountainous coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula stretching out into the sea.

🏙️

Shenyang Skyline

On the final approach, the high-rises of Shenyang's CBD and the Hun River come into focus to the northeast.

Choose this side for morning flights to see the coastline illuminated by the rising sun. Keep an eye out for the Dalian-Yantai ferry crossing routes mid-flight. During the winter, look for sea ice formations along the northern Bohai coast.
