Bohai Bay
Expansive views of the sparkling blue waters and busy shipping lanes of the Bohai Sea.
Shanhaiguan
The historic 'First Pass Under Heaven' where the Great Wall of China meets the sea.
Panjin Red Beach
In autumn, these famous wetlands turn a vivid crimson, visible near the river mouths.
Liaohe Delta
A complex network of river channels and agricultural grids near the coastline.
Shenyang CBD
A clear view of the city's skyscrapers and urban layout during the landing sequence.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. About 30-40 minutes after takeoff, keep a close watch for the coastline to spot where the Great Wall reaches the ocean. During late September and October, look specifically for the red patches of the Panjin marshes near the Liao River's mouth.
