The massive industrial and residential sprawl of Liaoning's capital city appearing to the west.

Intricate river patterns and the famous 'Red Beach' wetlands near Panjin during clear weather.
Bohai Bay Platforms

The right side is ideal for sunset flights to avoid the harsh glare of the morning sun. Look for the distinct 'Red Beach' hue in the autumn months when passing over the Panjin area. On clear days, the engineering marvel of the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge is best viewed from this side as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
