SHEXUZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Taoxian Airport (Shenyang) to Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior perspective of the coastline where the Great Wall meets the sea, as well as a more direct view of the Yellow River crossing.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🐉

Shanhaiguan

The 'Old Dragon's Head' where the Great Wall of China meets the Bohai Sea.

🏗️

Qinhuangdao Port

A massive industrial view of one of the world's busiest coal shipping terminals.

🌊

Yellow River Crossing

The iconic, sediment-heavy 'Mother River' of China winding through the North China Plain.

⛰️

Mount Tai

On very clear days, the silhouette of this sacred mountain can be spotted to the southwest.

🚜

North China Plain

A mesmerizing patchwork of agricultural fields that changes colors with the seasons.

The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. Watch closely about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the coastline near Qinhuangdao to see the end of the Great Wall. Use a polarized lens for photos to cut through the haze often present over the North China Plain.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Liaodong Bay

Expansive views of the shimmering Bohai Sea during the first half of the journey.

🦀

Panjin Red Beach

The unique crimson-colored wetlands of the Liao River delta, most vibrant during autumn months.

🚢

Longkou Coast

Aerial views of the northern Shandong Peninsula's industrial ports and artificial islands.

🏘️

Linyi Sprawl

Large-scale urban developments and logistics hubs in southern Shandong province.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The highlight is the Panjin Red Beach, which is best viewed in September and October when the seepweed turns deep red.
