Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Chinese coastline, including the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the impressive islands and bridge infrastructure near the Yangtze River Delta.
Shenyang Cityscape
Aerial view of the Hun River and the dense urban architecture of Shenyang shortly after takeoff from Taoxian.
Bohai Bay
A vast expanse of the Bohai Sea where the Liaodong Peninsula meets the ocean, often dotted with cargo ships.
Shandong Coastline
Clear views of the rugged eastern edge of the Shandong Peninsula and the blue waters of the Yellow Sea.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
One of the longest cross-sea bridges in the world, appearing as a thin white line over the water during descent.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A stunning cluster of islands in the East China Sea visible as the plane maneuvers for its final approach to Ningbo.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for coastal photography. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the Hangzhou Bay Bridge and the industrial scale of the Ningbo-Zhoushan port area.
North China Plain
Expansive views of the agricultural patterns and industrial hubs across the Liaoning and Shandong provinces.
Mount Tai
On very clear days, the silhouette of this sacred mountain may be visible in the distance to the west while passing Shandong.
Yangtze River Crossing
A view of the massive Yangtze River as it winds through the fertile delta region toward the sea.
Hangzhou Outskirts
Views of the sprawling suburbs and the Qiantang River as the flight enters the Zhejiang province airspace.
Siming Mountain Range
The lush, green peaks of the Siming Mountains provide a scenic backdrop during the final descent into Ningbo.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, offering a golden hour view over the inland plains and mountains. During the summer months, keep an eye out for dramatic cloud formations over the Yangtze River Delta which are common in the afternoon.
