Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Yellow Sea coastline, the iconic islands of the Bohai Strait, and the industrial landscape of Dalian harbor.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Yangtze River Estuary

Observe the massive sediment plumes where China's longest river meets the East China Sea.

🏖️

Shandong Coastline

Follow the scenic cliffs and beaches along the eastern edge of the Shandong Peninsula.

🏝️

Bohai Strait Islands

The Miaodao Archipelago creates a stunning 'stepping stone' visual between Yantai and Dalian.

⚓

Dalian Port

Clear views of the strategic harbor, shipyards, and coastal topography of the Liaodong Peninsula.

❄️

Northeast China Plain

Vast agricultural grids that transform into a white snowscape during the winter months.

Morning flights provide the best lighting for the sea and islands. The highlight is the 15-minute window crossing the Bohai Strait; keep your camera ready as you pass Dalian. In winter, look for sea ice patterns near the coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Shanghai Cityscape

Aerial views of the Huangpu River and the dense urbanization of the Yangtze Delta immediately after takeoff.

🚜

Jiangsu Farmland

A complex patchwork of irrigated fields and ancient canal networks stretching across the flat plains.

⛰️

Shandong Inland

Distant views of the rugged mountainous interior of Shandong province on clear days.

🏢

Shenyang Metropolis

The sprawling urban center of Liaoning's capital is often visible during the initial descent phase.

Sit on the left for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset glow over the mainland. In autumn, the visibility is generally higher for spotting inland landmarks like the Grand Canal.
