SHEWUX

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is slightly superior, offering better views of the Bohai Sea coastline during the mid-flight and a spectacular approach over the northern shores of Lake Tai before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏞️

Hun River Bend

A scenic view of the winding Hun River as the aircraft climbs away from Shenyang.

🌊

Bohai Gulf

Expansive views of the Bohai Sea to the west, often shimmering under the afternoon sun.

🌾

Yellow River Delta

If the flight path stays inland, you can see the unique yellow-tinted wetlands where the Yellow River meets the sea.

💧

Lake Tai (Taihu)

A stunning view of China's third-largest freshwater lake, featuring its famous islands and fishing fleets during the final approach.

🏙️

Wuxi Urban Center

A close-up view of Wuxi's rapidly developing high-rise districts and Lingshan Grand Buddha in the distance.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Bohai Sea. The highlight is the approach into WUX; if the plane lands from the north, you will have an unobstructed view of the vast Lake Tai. Look for the Lingshan Grand Buddha on the hills near the lake's edge.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Shenyang Cityscape

Aerial view of the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center and the Hun River shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Liaodong Peninsula

Views of the rugged coastline near Dalian and the bustling ports of the Yellow Sea.

🚢

Yellow Sea Maritime Routes

Spotting large cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy sea lanes between North China and South Korea.

🏞️

Yangtze River Crossing

The massive scale of the Yangtze River as the flight enters the fertile plains of Jiangsu province.

🏙️

Suzhou Skyline

On clear days during descent, the distinctive 'Gate to the East' skyscraper in Suzhou is visible to the southeast.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a great perspective of the Liaodong Peninsula's eastern edge. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Yangtze River, as the sediment-heavy water creates a sharp contrast with the surrounding landscape.
