Zhoushan Archipelago
A stunning view of hundreds of islands and the massive Ningbo-Zhoushan Port complex during the initial climb.
Yellow Sea Coastline
Continuous views of the coastline where the deep blue of the sea meets the industrial hubs of the eastern shore.
Laoshan Mountains
The dramatic granite peaks of Qingdao's famous coastal mountain range rising directly from the ocean.
Bohai Strait Islands
The Miaodao Islands chain that forms a natural bridge of land between the Shandong and Liaodong peninsulas.
Dalian Port
Panoramic views of Dalian's harbor and the sharp tip of the Liaodong Peninsula before turning inland.
The right side is superior for maritime scenery. Afternoon flights are perfect as the sun illuminates the coastline and islands from the west. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the crossing between Yantai and Dalian, which is the scenic highlight of the route.

Hangzhou Bay Bridge
One of the longest trans-oceanic bridges in the world spanning the massive estuary shortly after departure.
Yangtze Delta Urbanization
The dense, shimmering urban grids of Suzhou and the surrounding industrial heartland of southern Jiangsu.
Yellow River Delta
Distinctive wetlands and the brownish silt plumes where China's second-longest river meets the Bohai Sea.
Liaoning Interior
The rolling hills and agricultural plains of the Northeast as the plane descends toward Shenyang.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct eastern sun glare. This side is ideal for seeing the complex water networks and urban sprawl of the Yangtze River Delta. Look for the massive sediment discharge of the Yellow River if visibility is high near Dongying.
