Which side of the plane to sit from Shijiazhuang Daguocun International Airport (Shijiazhuang) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Bohai Bay and a more dramatic approach into the Dalian peninsula, showcasing the contrast between the sea and the rugged coastline.

North China Plain
A patchwork of agricultural fields and rural townships stretching toward the horizon.
Bohai Bay
Extensive views of the Bohai Sea, often dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.
Offshore Oil Rigs
Small industrial structures visible in the Bohai Sea, marking the region's underwater oil fields.
Dalian Port
One of China's busiest ports, featuring massive container ships and specialized docks on approach.
Liaodong Coastline
The rugged, rocky edges of the Dalian peninsula as the aircraft descends into Zhoushuizi.
Choose the right side for the best lighting during afternoon flights. On the descent into Dalian (DLC), this side frequently provides a sweeping view of the city's coastal geography and the Xinghai Bridge if the flight path circles from the south.

Shijiazhuang Outskirts
View of the industrial landscape and urban sprawl of Shijiazhuang shortly after takeoff.
Yanshan Mountains
Distant views of the rugged Yanshan mountain range to the north as the plane heads northeast.
Liaodong Bay
The northernmost part of the Bohai Sea, visible as the flight tracks toward the Liaoning coastline.
Jinzhou Port
The busy industrial docks and shipping lanes along the western coast of the Liaodong Peninsula.
Sit toward the front to avoid engine heat haze. This side is better if you prefer seeing the distant mountain silhouettes against the North China Plain, especially during the early morning when the sun is at your back.
