Which side of the plane to sit from Yantai Laishan Airport (Yantai) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the numerous islands dotting the Bohai Strait and a breathtaking panorama of Dalian's modern skyline and the iconic Xinghai Cross-sea Bridge during the descent.
Changshan Archipelago
A beautiful chain of islands scattered across the strait, including Guanglu and Zhangzi islands.
Xinghai Cross-sea Bridge
Dalian's architectural marvel spanning the ocean, best seen during the final approach to Zhoushuizi.
Dalian CBD
A stunning view of the dense cluster of skyscrapers and the modern urban layout of downtown Dalian.
Xinghai Square
One of the largest city squares in the world, recognizable by its distinct circular layout right on the coastline.
Dalian Port Facilities
Extensive views of one of China's most important northern logistics hubs and its massive crane arrays.
The right side is highly recommended for the Dalian approach. Request a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the bridge. This side is especially scenic during sunset flights as the city lights begin to flicker on while the sky glows over the Yellow Sea.
Bohai Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water shortly after takeoff, where the Bohai Sea meets the Yellow Sea.
Lushun Port
The historic Port Arthur at the very tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, visible as the plane nears the coast.
Bohai Shipping Lanes
Dense maritime traffic including massive cargo ships and ferries crossing the strait between Shandong and Liaoning.
Lushunkou Mountains
The rugged, green-topped hills of the southern Liaodong Peninsula during the initial descent phase.
Sit on the left if you want a clear view of the historic Lushunkou district. Since this is a very short north-bound flight, the sun will be on your left in the afternoon, potentially causing glare. Morning flights are ideal for this side.
