Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior mix of coastal geography, massive freshwater lakes like Poyang, and a potentially stunning view of the Pearl River Delta's eastern edge during the final approach.
Bohai Bay Coastline
Stunning views of the Liaodong Peninsula coastline and the northern Bohai Sea shortly after takeoff from Shenyang.
Yellow River Delta
The unique silt patterns and vast wetlands where the Yellow River meets the sea near Dongying.
Poyang Lake
A magnificent view of China's largest freshwater lake, showcasing its seasonal water levels and intricate islands.
Wuyi Mountain Foothills
Verdant peaks and rolling green hills along the Jiangxi-Fujian border as the flight heads south.
Daya Bay
Aerial views of the eastern Shenzhen coastline and the industrial beauty of the Huizhou port area during descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly spectacular in late summer when Poyang Lake is full and the air is clear. Keep an eye out for the massive bridge networks as you cross major rivers in Jiangsu and Anhui.
Taihang Mountains
Distant but majestic views of the rugged mountain range marking the edge of the Loess Plateau to the west.
Central Plains Metropolises
High-altitude views of the dense urban clusters across the North China Plain, especially near Jinan and Hefei.
Yangtze River Crossing
A dramatic view of the mighty Yangtze River as it winds through the heart of central China.
Dabie Mountains
The flight passes over these significant mountains, offering views of deep valleys and forested ridges.
Nanshan Skyscrapers
Exceptional views of the Ping An Finance Centre and the dense skyline of Shenzhen's Nanshan and Qianhai districts on final approach.
Choose the right side for late afternoon flights to catch a stunning sunset over the inland mountains. During the approach to SZX, the right side often provides a better angle of the Pearl River Estuary and the massive container terminals.
