WUXSHE

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the dense urban sprawl of the Yangtze Delta to the rugged coastline of the Shandong Peninsula and the blue expanse of the Bohai Sea.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Yangtze River Delta

A dense network of cities, bridges, and industrial zones immediately visible after departing Wuxi.

🏖️

Qingdao Coastline

Breathtaking views of the Laoshan mountain range meeting the Yellow Sea near the Shandong Peninsula.

🚢

Bohai Sea Crossing

A long stretch over open water where you can spot cargo ships entering the busy ports of North China.

⚓

Liaodong Peninsula

The rugged, hilly terrain of southern Liaoning as the aircraft crosses back over land near Dalian.

Morning flights are ideal as the sun is in the east, illuminating the coastline without creating harsh glare. The crossing of the Bohai Sea is the highlight; watch for the transition from the yellow-tinted waters near the shore to the deep blue of the central bay. Look for the massive wind farms dotting the coastal hills of the peninsula.

🛶

Grand Canal

The ancient Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is visible as it winds through the industrial heart of Jiangsu province.

🌊

Lake Gaoyou

One of China's largest freshwater lakes, providing a shimmering silver expanse shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Mount Tai Silhouette

On clear days, the distant silhouette of the sacred Mount Tai can be spotted in central Shandong.

🌾

Panjin Wetlands

The unique ecosystem of the Liaohe River delta, known for its seasonal red sea-blite during autumn months.

Sit on the left for better views of the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. Keep an eye out for the intricate network of inland waterways and fish ponds in northern Jiangsu during the first 20 minutes of the flight. During the descent, the vast Liaoning plains offer a tapestry of agricultural patterns.
