WEFSHE

Which side of the plane to sit from Weifang Airport (Weifang) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the complex coastline where the Bohai Sea meets the northern Chinese plains, including the unique red wetlands of Panjin.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Weifang City

Aerial views of the kite capital's urban center and river systems shortly after departure.

🌾

Shandong Plains

Extensive agricultural grids and rural settlements across the northern Shandong region.

🌊

Bohai Rim

Scenic coastal views of the western Bohai Gulf and various industrial port facilities.

🔴

Panjin Red Beach

Seasonal crimson wetlands near the Liaohe River mouth, particularly vivid during autumn months.

🏭

Liaohe Oil Field

Dense clusters of oil extraction infrastructure and derricks located within the river delta.

Book a window seat on the left for the most varied terrain. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the coastline and the vibrant colors of the Liaoning wetlands. Look for the distinct transition from the yellow-tinted sea to the green and red land near Panjin.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🌊

Laizhou Bay

Expansive open water views of the eastern gulf shortly after the initial climb.

🛳️

Maritime Lanes

Visuals of cargo ships and tankers traversing the busy northern maritime trade routes.

⛰️

Liaodong Mountains

Distant silhouettes of the peninsula's rugged eastern terrain visible on clear days.

🏘️

Shenyang Suburbs

Aerial perspective of the rapidly expanding southern residential and industrial zones of Shenyang.

The right side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the eastern sun. While mostly providing maritime views, it offers a peaceful perspective of the Bohai Sea and a clear view of the final approach into Taoxian Airport's eastern runway configuration.
