SHEYNT

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

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Bohai Bay coastline, the industrial landscape of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the intricate geography of the Dalian port area before crossing the strait.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Shenyang Urban Core

An immediate view of the Hun River and the dense skyscraper clusters of Shenyang's business districts.

🏭

Anshan Steel Hub

Witness the massive industrial scale of China's 'Steel Capital' with its distinctive factory complexes.

🌊

Bohai Bay Coastline

The rugged western edge of the Liaodong Peninsula where the land meets the shallow Bohai Sea.

🚢

Dalian Maritime Hub

Spectacular views of Dalian's busy ports, shipping lanes, and the impressive coastal bridge infrastructure.

🌉

Bohai Strait Crossing

The narrow 100km gap between the peninsulas featuring the Miaodao Islands as stepping stones.

Opt for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Liaodong coastline brilliantly. Keep your camera ready as you pass Dalian; the transition from the peninsula to the open sea crossing is the visual highlight of the trip.

Liaodong Rolling Hills

🏞️

Biliu River Reservoir

Look for large inland water bodies reflecting the sky as you head south toward the coast.

🏝️

Changshan Archipelago

A group of scenic islands scattered in the Yellow Sea visible during the mid-flight crossing.

Yellow Sea Horizon

An expansive view of the deep blue Yellow Sea stretching toward the horizon.

🏙️

Yantai Coastal Districts

Morning flights on the left side provide soft, diffused light over the Yellow Sea, ideal for photography without harsh glare. During winter, look for ice formations along the northern shoreline before the deep water crossing.
