Which side of the plane to sit from Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan) to Yantai Laishan Airport (Yantai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the diverse Shandong landscape, including the sacred peaks of the central mountains and the urban sprawl of the peninsula's major cities before descending into Yantai.
Jinan Urban Landscape
A clear view of the 'City of Springs' immediately after takeoff, showcasing the blend of modern high-rises and historic districts.
Mount Tai
On clear days, the distant but unmistakable silhouette of China's most sacred mountain can be seen rising to the south.
Weifang Plain
Fly over the flat, agricultural heartland surrounding the 'Kite Capital,' dotted with greenhouse clusters.
Kunyu Mountains
Rugged, pine-covered ridges that characterize the eastern end of the Shandong Peninsula during the final descent.
The right side is highly recommended for afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the mountain ridges. Look south approximately 10-15 minutes into the flight for a glimpse of the Tai-Yi mountain range. During the approach to Yantai, this side offers the most scenic view of the city's unique hilly topography.
Bohai Sea Coastline
Expansive views of the northern coastline where the land meets the shallow, blue-grey waters of the Bohai Sea.
Yellow River Delta
Observe the intricate network of wetlands and silt-heavy tributaries as the Yellow River nears its terminus.
Longkou Port
A bird's-eye view of one of the region's busiest maritime hubs, featuring massive cargo ships and industrial docks.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for the distinct color gradient in the water near the river mouth, where the yellow silt blends into the sea. This side provides the best perspective of the coastal aquaculture farms that line the shore.
