SHE → TAO
Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Liuting Airport (Qingdao)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the diverse coastal geography, including the unique Red Beach wetlands and a panoramic approach over Jiaozhou Bay into Qingdao.
Panjin Red Beach
In autumn, the landscape turns a vibrant crimson due to Sueda seaweed in the Liaohe River delta.
Bohai Bay Shipping
Watch for massive cargo ships navigating one of China's busiest maritime corridors from above.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
An incredible aerial view of one of the world's longest cross-sea bridges as you approach Qingdao.
Qingdao Skyline
The contrasting views of red-tiled roofs in the old city and modern skyscrapers along the western coast.
Ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset reflecting off the Bohai Sea. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for a stunning view of the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge and the industrial port facilities.
Shenyang Urban Landscape
A final look at the industrial and cultural hub of Northeast China as you climb south.
Qianshan Mountains
Sprawling views of the rugged peaks and dense forests near Anshan visible shortly after takeoff.
Yellow Sea Coastline
The dramatic transition where the Liaodong Peninsula meets the blue waters of the Yellow Sea.
Laoshan Mountain Range
The highest coastal mountain in China, appearing as a majestic granite cluster on the left during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the sea without glare. It is the best side for spotting the high-altitude terrain of the Liaodong Peninsula before the flight crosses the water.
