Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular coastal journey, featuring the East China Sea, the intricate Zhoushan Archipelago, and a dramatic crossing of the Bohai Sea before landing in Northeast China.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ–οΈ

Xiamen Island

Stunning views of the Xiamen coastline and the nearby Kinmen Islands immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

A dense cluster of hundreds of islands scattered across the blue waters of the East China Sea.

πŸ™οΈ

Shanghai & Yangtze Estuary

Distant views of the Shanghai skyline and the massive sediment plumes where the Yangtze meets the sea.

Bohai Sea Crossing

A long stretch over open water, offering a unique perspective of the maritime traffic entering North China.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Liaodong Peninsula

The rugged coastline of Dalian and the southern tip of Liaoning as the plane approaches the mainland.

The right side is superior for coastal lovers. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting on the coastline without looking directly into the sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 30 minutes for the Liaodong Peninsula coastline.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountain Range

View the rugged, misty peaks of the northern Fujian and Zhejiang highlands early in the flight.

🌊

Mount Tai

Tianjin Metropolis

The dense urban sprawl and industrial ports of Tianjin are visible as the flight skirts the Bohai Bay.

Choose this side for inland scenery and mountain vistas. Mid-morning flights are ideal to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the dramatic change from the southern mountains to the flat northern plains.
