Which side of the plane to sit from Yanji Chaoyangchuan Airport (Yanji) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more dramatic scenic experience, featuring the rugged peaks of the Changbai mountain system and the striking coastline of the Yellow Sea.
Changbai Foothills
Aerial views of the densely forested and rugged terrain of eastern Jilin province.
North Korean Borderlands
A unique perspective of the mountainous landscape along the Tumen and Yalu River corridors.
Yellow Sea Coastline
Dramatic transition from the mountainous interior to the deep blue waters of the Yellow Sea.
Dalian Harbor
Expansive views of the bustling container terminals and industrial shipyards of Dalian.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to witness the sun rising over the sea. In winter, the contrast between the snow-dusted mountains and the dark ocean water is particularly striking. Keep your camera ready as you approach the Liaodong Peninsula for high-altitude coastal views.
Northeast China Plain
The vast agricultural landscape and patchwork fields characteristic of central Liaoning.
Industrial Corridor
Views of the sprawling urban and heavy industrial zones near Anshan and Yingkou.
Liaodong Bay
The tranquil waters of the Bohai Sea visible as the plane moves south along the peninsula.
Offshore Wind Farms
Large-scale renewable energy installations visible in the shallow waters of the bay during descent.
The right side is the preferred choice for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Bohai Sea. Watch for the distinct reflection of the sun on the mudflats and shallow waters of the bay. It also provides a better view of the inland plains and the dense urban sprawl of the Liaoning industrial belt.
