YIWSHE

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the dramatic crossing of the Bohai Sea and the scenic coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula, providing a mix of maritime and terrestrial beauty.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌅

East China Coastline

Glimpses of the coastline and the busy shipping lanes of the Yellow Sea.

⛰️

Mount Tai Range

Distant views of the sacred Shandong mountains rising above the surrounding plains.

🚢

Bohai Sea Crossing

A stunning aerial transit over the gulf, often dotted with massive cargo ships and oil rigs.

🏖️

Liaodong Peninsula

The rugged and indented coastline near Dalian, featuring dramatic cliffs and blue waters.

🏙️

Hun River

The winding river that defines the Shenyang landscape as the aircraft begins its final approach.

Choose the right side for morning flights to enjoy the illuminated coastline. The highlight is the 20-30 minute segment crossing the Bohai Sea; keep your camera ready for the transition from the Shandong Peninsula to the Liaodong Peninsula. In winter, look for sea ice formations along the northern Bohai coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏞️

Zhejiang Highlands

Rolling green hills and tea plantations immediately following takeoff from Yiwu.

🌊

Yangtze River Crossing

A massive view of China's longest river as the flight heads north over the Jiangsu border.

🌾

North China Plain

Vast, intricate patterns of agricultural fields stretching to the horizon across Anhui and Shandong.

🌉

Yellow River (Huanghe)

The distinctive silty, golden-brown waters of the Yellow River cutting through the plains.

🏙️

Tianjin Outskirts

Distal views of the massive urban sprawl and industrial zones of the Bohai Economic Rim.

The left side is best for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight, though you may experience glare during the late day. Watch for the 'Mother River' (Yellow River) approximately mid-way through the flight. Use high-altitude maps to identify the major cities of the North China Plain.
