Which side of the plane to sit from Liuting Airport (Qingdao) to Jiamusi Airport (Jiamusi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of coastal scenery over the Bohai Strait, the busy ports of Dalian, and a more intimate view of the Songhua River's meanders during the approach into Jiamusi.
Qingdao Coastline
Stunning views of the Yellow Sea beaches and the rugged coastline of the Shandong Peninsula.
Changshan Archipelago
A cluster of beautiful islands scattered across the Bohai Strait between the Shandong and Liaodong peninsulas.
Dalian Port
One of the busiest maritime gateways in North China, often filled with large cargo vessels and tankers.
Changbai Foothills
Distant views of the mountain ranges that define the border regions, providing a rugged eastern horizon.
Songhua River Bends
Intricate, serpentine curves of the Songhua River as it flows through the Heilongjiang wetlands towards Jiamusi.
Sit on the right for the best morning light without the sun's glare. The descent into Jiamusi is particularly scenic on this side, as the flight path often parallels the Songhua River. In winter, look for the dramatic contrast between frozen white rivers and the dark forest terrain.
Qingdao Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the dense urban development and industrial zones of northern Qingdao shortly after takeoff.
Laizhou Bay
The western curve of the Bohai Sea coastline visible as the plane heads north across the water.
Shenyang Skyline
Distances views of Liaoning's capital, a major industrial and historical hub in Northeast China.
Songnen Plain
Vast stretches of agricultural land that create a colorful patchwork quilt pattern during the summer and autumn months.
Choose this side on evening flights to witness the sunset over the vast plains of Northeast China. It is also better for spotting the expansive urban grids of inland cities like Shenyang and Changchun depending on the specific air corridor.
