SHELYG

Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Lianyungang Airport (Lianyungang)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Liaodong Peninsula coastline, the expansive Yellow Sea, and a beautiful approach to the coastal city of Lianyungang including its major port facilities.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Shenyang Outskirts

Aerial view of the Hun River and the dense urban sprawl of southern Shenyang immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

Liaodong Peninsula

Clear views of the jagged coastline and the transition from land to the Bohai Sea near Yingkou.

🌊

Yellow Sea Horizon

A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight traverses the maritime boundary between the Bohai and Yellow Seas.

⚓

Lianyungang Port

Dramatic views of the massive container terminals and the Lianyungang Island bridge system during descent.

⛰️

Mount Yuntai

The scenic peaks of the Yuntai Mountain range rising sharply near the coastline as you approach the airport.

For the best lighting, choose an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you. This side is particularly scenic during clear autumn days when the contrast between the sea and the coastal mountains is sharpest. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the port views.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🌾

Liaoning Plains

Geometric patterns of agricultural fields and rural townships in the western Liaoning corridor.

🚢

Bohai Gulf

Occasional sightings of large cargo vessels and offshore oil drilling platforms in the Bohai Bay.

🐉

Yellow River Delta

The unique, sediment-rich landscape where the Yellow River meets the sea near Dongying, visible in the distance.

⛰️

Central Shandong Hills

The undulating terrain of the Shandong interior, providing a rugged contrast to the coastal plains.

🏘️

Jiangsu Water Towns

A mosaic of canals, small lakes, and intensive farming plots as the aircraft enters northern Jiangsu province.

Morning flights are ideal for the right side to avoid harsh direct sunlight. Look for the distinct color change in the water when passing the Yellow River mouth; the silt creates a striking contrast against the darker sea water.
