SZX → YNT
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Yantai Laishan Airport (Yantai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Pearl River Estuary upon departure and the dramatic coastline of the Bohai Sea during the final approach into Yantai.
Shenzhen Bay
Bird's-eye view of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Western Corridor bridge and the Nanshan district skyscrapers shortly after takeoff.
Nanling Mountains
Rugged, verdant mountain ridges marking the border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.
Yangtze River Crossing
A spectacular crossing of the massive Yangtze River as it winds through the plains of Anhui and Jiangsu.
Ancient Grand Canal
Segments of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal visible as silver threads through the Jiangsu landscape.
Bohai Sea Coast
The northern coastline of the Shandong Peninsula featuring sandy beaches and the turquoise waters of the Bohai Sea.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best perspective. During afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so have your camera ready for a golden-hour descent over the northern Shandong coast. The approach into YNT often passes near Penglai, offering glimpses of its famous coastal pavilions.
Dongguan Sprawl
The dense industrial and residential landscape of the manufacturing heartland east of the Pearl River.
Anhui Ranges
Distant views of the foothills and granite peaks associated with the famous Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) region.
Lake Taihu
Depending on the specific airway, the vast expanse of Lake Taihu can often be spotted to the east.
Yellow Sea Horizon
As the plane crosses into Shandong, the deep blue of the Yellow Sea dominates the eastern horizon.
Yantai Port
Views of the massive shipping infrastructure and industrial docks that serve as a major gateway for Northern China.
The right side ('F' seats) is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides a clearer view of the inland mountain ranges and the industrial powerhouses of the East China plains. Keep an eye out for large-scale container ships as you approach the Shandong Peninsula.
