Port of Tianjin
A birds-eye view of one of the world's largest container ports with massive vessels navigating the channels.

Spot the active oil and gas extraction platforms positioned throughout the Bohai Sea waters.
Lushun District
The historic naval base of Port Arthur and the scenic, mountainous tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.
Xinghai Cross-Sea Bridge
A stunning view of Dalian's iconic architectural landmark and the rocky southern coastline during landing.
The Right Side is essential for seeing Dalian's famous southern coastline. For the best experience, choose a late afternoon flight to catch the 'Golden Hour' lighting over the Yellow Sea and the Dalian cliffs. If the wind is from the North, the final approach often curves right over Lushun, offering a panoramic view of the entire city.

Bohai Gulf
The vast northern expanse of the Bohai Sea with scattered fishing fleets visible on clear days.
Jinzhou District

This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. It provides a quieter, more sea-focused view. Keep an eye out for the transition from the North China Plain to the Bohai Sea shortly after passing Tianjin's outskirts.
