SHEYIW

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

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Bohai Sea coastline and the dramatic transition from the North China Plain to the watery landscapes of the Yangtze River Delta.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Bohai Sea Coast

Aerial perspectives of the Liaodong Gulf and the busy shipping lanes of the northern coast.

🏖️

Shandong Peninsula

Clear views of the rugged coastline and port cities like Yantai and Weihai.

🌾

Jiangsu Wetlands

Intricate patterns of salt pans and aquaculture farms along the Yellow Sea coast.

🌉

Hangzhou Bay

As you descend into Zhejiang, the massive mouth of the Qiantang River becomes visible.

Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sun rising over the Yellow Sea. Look out for the massive wind farms located off the coast of Jiangsu. This side typically provides a clearer view of the coastal topography before the aircraft turns inland toward Yiwu.

Right Side Highlights
7.0
🚜

North China Plain

A vast, endless patchwork of agricultural fields that define the Chinese heartland.

🐉

Yellow River Crossing

The distinctive silty waters of the 'Mother River' as it winds toward the sea.

🏙️

Nanjing Hub

Distant views of the historic city of Nanjing and the Yangtze River's inland bridges.

⛰️

Zhejiang Hills

Lush green mountains and tea-growing valleys as you approach the destination.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep an eye out for the crossing of the Yangtze River roughly 70 minutes into the flight. During the final approach, the mountainous terrain of central Zhejiang offers a scenic contrast to the northern plains.
