SZX β SHE
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Pearl River Delta's complex infrastructure upon departure, followed by a scenic crossing of the Bohai Sea and the Liaodong Peninsula coastline.
Pearl River Estuary
A bird's-eye view of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the bustling maritime traffic.
Greater Bay Area Sprawl
The continuous mega-city landscape stretching from Shenzhen through Dongguan and Guangzhou.
Bohai Sea Crossing
The dramatic transition from land to sea as the flight cuts across the Bohai Gulf.
Miaodao Archipelago
A chain of scenic islands scattered across the Bohai Strait like emeralds in the water.
Dalian & Liaodong Coast
Dramatic coastal cliffs and port facilities as the aircraft re-enters land over the Liaoning peninsula.
The right side is spectacular during sunset flights, as the sun sets over the sea behind you while the coastline glows. Watch for the departure climb-out for the best view of the Pearl River Deltaβs massive scale. Ensure your window is clean for the island views in the Bohai Strait.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged green ridges of northern Guangdong and southern Jiangxi provinces.
Poyang Lake Basin
Vast views of China's largest freshwater lake system and its surrounding wetlands.
Mount Tai
The iconic and sacred peak of Shandong Province, standing prominently above the surrounding plains.
Central Plains Tapestry
Intricate patterns of agricultural fields across Anhui and Shandong provinces.
Tianjin Distant Skyline
On clear days, the western horizon reveals the dense urban centers of the Bohai Economic Rim.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Keep a lookout for the silhouette of Mount Tai approximately 75-90 minutes after takeoff. In winter, this side offers better views of the snow-covered North China Plain.
