Which side of the plane to sit from Yantai Laishan Airport (Yantai) to Shijiazhuang Daguocun International Airport (Shijiazhuang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Shandong coastline to the unique silty geography of the Yellow River Delta.
Penglai Coastline
The northern coastal edge of Yantai, featuring ports and maritime activity.
Bohai Sea
Vast views of Laizhou Bay and the turquoise waters of the Bohai Sea.
Yellow River Delta
The spectacular fan-shaped sediment deposits where the Yellow River meets the ocean.
Salt Evaporation Ponds
Luminous, multi-colored geometric ponds used for salt production near Dongying.
Hebei Farm Grids
Intricate agricultural patterns that define the landscape as you cross into Hebei.
For the best views of the Yellow River Delta, monitor the window approximately 20 to 30 minutes after takeoff. Morning flights are recommended on this side to keep the sun behind the aircraft, enhancing the colors of the coastal wetlands.
Shandong Highlands
Rolling hills and rugged terrain of the inner Shandong Peninsula shortly after departure.
Weifang Cityscape
A clear view of the sprawling urban layout of the world's kite capital.
Yellow River Channel
The winding path of the Yellow River as it flows through the plains towards the sea.
Shijiazhuang Approach
Aerial views of the dense urban grid and industrial sectors of the Hebei provincial capital.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sun setting over the distant Taihang Mountains during the descent. Look for the distinct change from hilly terrain to the flat North China Plain mid-flight.
