Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more diverse range of views, including the sprawling urban centers of the Yangtze River Delta, the rugged interior of the Shandong Peninsula, and a clear view of Dalian's cityscape upon crossing the Bohai Sea.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Yangtze River Delta Cities

Bird's-eye view of the dense urban networks of Suzhou and Wuxi shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Yangtze River Mouth

The massive scale of Asia's longest river as it meets the East China Sea.

⛰️

Shandong Highlands

Aerial perspective of the mountainous terrain in central Shandong province.

🚢

Dalian Port

View of the major northern port and urban layout as the flight crosses from the sea back to land.

🌾

Liaoning Plains

The transition into the vast agricultural heartland of Northeast China.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Yangtze crossing. In winter, this side provides excellent views of the snow-dusted mountains in Shandong and the frozen landscape of the Liaoning province.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌉

Hangzhou Bay Bridge

One of the longest trans-oceanic bridges in the world visible shortly after departure from Ningbo.

🏖️

Qingdao Coastline

Views of the scenic beaches and red-roofed architecture of coastal Qingdao.

🛥️

Bohai Sea Islands

The scattered islands of the Miaodao Archipelago dotting the entrance to the Bohai Sea.

💧

Songhua River Tributaries

Winding waterways that snake through the landscape as you approach Changchun.

Ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset reflecting off the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. Look out for the distinct 'green-sea' contrast of the Shandong coastline. As you descend into Changchun, the right side often provides a better angle of the winding river systems characteristic of the Jilin region.
