Liao River Delta
The intricate network of rivers and wetlands south of Shenyang near Panjin.
Panjin Wetlands
During autumn, the famous Red Beach area is visible as a distinct crimson patch on the coastline.
Liaodong Bay
Follow the natural curve of the bay with views of the Jinzhou port facilities and coastal shallows.
Yellow River Delta
The most significant highlight, showing the muddy yellow waters mixing with the blue sea in a massive plume.
Jinan Cityscape
A clear view of the 'City of Springs' skyline and the winding Yellow River just before landing.
The right side is essential for seeing the Yellow River Delta, one of China's most unique geographic features. For the best lighting on the coast and the 'yellow water' contrast, choose an afternoon flight. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes before landing to capture the delta sediment plumes.

Views of the southern industrial districts and urban sprawl of Liaoning's capital upon departure.
Liaodong Peninsula Edge
Distant views of the eastern coastline of the Bohai Sea and the rugged tip of the peninsula.
Bohai Sea Traffic
Observe cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy maritime lanes toward Dalian and Yantai.
North China Plain
A patchwork of organized agricultural fields across northern Shandong province as you descend.
Yaoqiang Approach
Final views of the eastern suburbs and logistics hubs surrounding Jinan's airport.
Opt for the left side during morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing better visibility for the distant coastline. This side is generally quieter visually but offers a peaceful view of the open Bohai Sea. Watch for the 'sea-sky' line where the hazy horizon meets the water.
