Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Yangtze River basin, distant views of the sacred Mount Tai, and the scenic island chains of the Bohai Strait during the descent into Dalian.

Yangtze River Bend
The majestic Yangtze River winding its way eastward through the Hubei and Anhui floodplains.
Mount Tai
On clear days, look for the silhouette of the historic and sacred Mount Tai rising above the Shandong landscape.
Changdao Islands
A stunning necklace of islands dotting the Bohai Strait between the Shandong and Liaodong peninsulas.
Xinghai Bay Bridge
A breathtaking view of Dalian's iconic cross-sea bridge and the city's modern coastal skyline during approach.
Dalian Port
One of China's busiest maritime hubs, visible with massive container ships and tankers near the end of the flight.
The right side is highly recommended for the approach into Dalian, which typically passes over the Bohai Strait. Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind the aircraft, which illuminates the blue waters of the strait and the islands perfectly. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near Lushun.

Wuhan Urban Core
Aerial view of the dense Hankou district and the merging of the Han and Yangtze Rivers shortly after takeoff.
Dabie Mountains
View of the rugged, forested peaks that form a natural border between Hubei, Henan, and Anhui provinces.
North China Plain
The vast, geometric agricultural tapestry of the Henan and Shandong provinces stretching toward the horizon.
Bohai Gulf Coast
The industrial coastline of the northern Bohai Sea as the flight begins its final descent sequence.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Wuhan city center during departure. For photographers, a late afternoon flight provides soft, golden light across the North China Plain, though you may face some glare depending on the specific flight path.
