Which side of the plane to sit from Yantai Laishan Airport (Yantai) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a stunning bird's-eye view of the Miaodao Archipelago and the rugged coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula during the crossing of the Bohai Strait.
Miaodao Archipelago
A beautiful chain of islands stretching across the Bohai Strait between Yantai and Dalian.
Dalian Port
Views of one of Northern China's busiest maritime hubs and the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.
Qian Mountains
The rolling hills and rugged terrain of the Liaoning province as the flight heads toward Shenyang.
Shenyang Skyline
A clear view of the sprawling urban center of Shenyang during the final descent into Taoxian Airport.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the islands. The Miaodao Islands appear shortly after takeoff from Yantai, so stay alert early in the flight. This side generally offers more distinct geographic landmarks.
Bohai Sea Expanse
A vast view of the western Bohai Gulf, often dotted with cargo ships heading toward Tianjin.
Liaohe River Delta
Intricate wetland patterns and seasonal vegetation at the mouth of the Liaohe River.
Panjin Cityscape
The industrial and urban layout of Panjin visible as the aircraft transitions from sea to land.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Bohai Sea. In autumn, look for the deep red hues of the famous Red Beach wetlands near Panjin as you approach the Liaoning coast.
