Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for China's eastern coastline, including the sprawling Yangtze River Delta, the iconic Shanghai skyline, and the intricate island chains of the East China Sea.
Bohai Sea Crossing
Aerial views of the deep blue Bohai Sea and the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula near Dalian.
Qingdao Coastline
Clear views of the red-roofed architecture and the Olympic Sailing Center along the Shandong coast.
Yangtze River Estuary
The massive scale of Chongming Island and the heavy maritime traffic entering the Yangtze River.
Shanghai Skyline
A distant but stunning view of the Lujiazui financial district and the dense urban sprawl of Pudong.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
One of the longest trans-oceanic bridges in the world spanning the vast Hangzhou Bay.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A cluster of hundreds of islands and the heavy industrial ports near Ningbo.
Book an afternoon flight to keep the sun on the right side, preventing glare over the sea. The highlight is the approach to the Yangtze Delta; keep your camera ready about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the Shanghai-Ningbo corridor.
Shenyang Urban Center
Views of the Hun River and the dense high-rises of Shenyang's Hunnan District shortly after takeoff.
Huabei Plain
A vast geometric tapestry of agricultural fields stretching across the North China Plain.
Lake Hongze
One of China's largest freshwater lakes appearing as a massive blue mirror in Jiangsu Province.
Zhejiang Highlands
The transition into the misty, terraced mountains of northern and central Zhejiang.
Oujiang River Valley
The winding river path carving through steep green mountains as you descend into Wenzhou.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the final 20 minutes of flight, watch for the dramatic change from flat plains to the rugged, forested hills of southern Zhejiang, which are particularly beautiful in autumn.
