Which side of the plane to sit from Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan) to Longjia Airport (Changchun)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior scenery, including the vast Bohai Sea crossing, the rugged mountains of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the expansive agricultural patterns of the Northeast China Plain.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚢

Bohai Bay Transit

A significant portion of the flight crosses the sea, offering views of shipping lanes and the coastal curves of Shandong.

⛰️

Liaodong Peninsula

Dramatic views of the mountainous terrain of southern Liaoning province as the plane makes landfall.

🏙️

Dalian and Yingkou

Bird's-eye views of the major port cities and industrial hubs along the northeastern coast.

❄️

Northeast China Plain

A vast, flat expanse of fertile farmland that turns into a stunning white landscape during the winter months.

🏞️

Songhua River Tributaries

Complex river networks and wetlands visible during the final descent into Changchun.

Sit on the right for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun. This side is particularly scenic in winter when the frozen landscape of Jilin province creates a striking contrast with the blue sea.

🌊

Yellow River Delta

Witness the sediment-rich waters of the Yellow River as it empties into the Bohai Sea shortly after departure.

🏙️

Tianjin Distant Skyline

On clear days, the massive urban sprawl of the Tianjin municipality is visible to the northwest.

🏔️

Yan Mountains

Faint views of the mountain ranges that historically protected the northern frontier of the North China Plain.

🌅

Sunset Horizon

Ideal for evening flights to catch the sun setting over the vast inland plains of Northern China.

Choose this side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset. Keep an eye out early in the flight for the distinctive brown-yellow plumes of the Yellow River meeting the ocean.
