Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Chinese coastline, featuring the jagged islands of Zhejiang, the urban coastal landscape of Qingdao and Dalian, and the expansive blue of the Bohai Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

A bird's-eye view of the dense cluster of islands off the coast of Ningbo.

🏖️

Qingdao Coastline

The distinctive red-roofed architecture and coastal curves of the Shandong Peninsula.

⛴️

Bohai Sea Crossing

A significant overwater stretch where you can see the shipping lanes connecting northern ports.

⚓

Dalian Port

The strategic tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, showcasing a major maritime hub.

❄️

Songhua River

The winding silver ribbon of Harbin's main river, especially beautiful when frozen in winter.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the horizon later in the trip. It provides the best views of the maritime geography of the Bohai Economic Rim. In winter, look for the stark contrast between the blue sea and the snow-covered landscapes of Liaoning.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Yandang Mountains

Stunning views of the rugged, volcanic peaks in southern Zhejiang shortly after departure.

🌊

Yangtze River Crossing

A view of the world's third-longest river as it flows through the fertile plains of Jiangsu.

🏙️

Shenyang Urban Area

The massive industrial and residential sprawl of Liaoning's capital city during the northern leg.

🌾

Songnen Plain

The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northeast China visible during the final descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for observing inland industrial growth and the transition from the mountainous south to the flat northern plains. Watch for the Yangtze River bridge systems near the halfway point.
