Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Luoyang Airport (Luoyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Yellow River's majestic bends and the iconic Mount Song during the final approach into Luoyang.
Liaodong Coast
Coastal views of western Liaoning and the industrial ports of the Bohai rim during the first half of the flight.
Yellow River Channel
Dramatic views of the Yellow River as the flight tracks parallel to its winding path through northern Henan.
Zhengzhou View
A glimpse of the high-rise clusters and modern urban planning of Zhengzhou shortly before reaching Luoyang.
Mount Song
The rugged peaks of Songshan, home to the Shaolin Temple, appearing as a prominent landmark during descent.
Luoyang Approach
Panoramic views of the Luo River and the historical city's modern outskirts just before touchdown.
Opt for the right side on afternoon flights to capture the sun reflecting off the Yellow River's surface. Pay close attention during the final 15 minutes of the flight for a clear view of Mount Song and the western suburban landscapes of Luoyang.
Shenyang Departure
Aerial view of the Hun River and Shenyang's urban expansion immediately after takeoff from Taoxian.
Bohai Gulf
The transition from the Liaoning coast into the open waters of the Bohai Sea during the early cruise phase.
Yellow River Delta
The vast sediment-rich wetlands near Dongying where the river meets the sea, visible as you cross into Shandong.
Ancient Kaifeng
The historic layout of Kaifeng visible across the sprawling Henan plains during the initial descent.
Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy the soft lighting over the Bohai Sea. This side provides a better perspective of the vast agricultural patterns of the North China Plain and the unique hydrology of the Yellow River Delta.
