Which side of the plane to sit from Yancheng Airport (Yancheng) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more diverse visual experience, featuring both the coastal wetlands of Jiangsu and the mountainous silhouettes of the Shandong Peninsula before the final descent.
Yancheng Wetlands
Spot the vast network of marshes and tidal flats of the National Rare Birds Nature Reserve right after departure.
Shandong Coast
Enjoy views of the rugged coastline and mountainous terrain of the Shandong Peninsula during the cruise phase.
Bohai Strait
View the strategic shipping lanes and scattered islands as you cross between the Yellow and Bohai Seas.
Jinzhou Industrial Zone
See the heavy industrial development and port facilities as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to witness the sun descending over the mainland. The contrast between the green wetlands and the blue sea is most vivid in summer and autumn months.
Yellow Sea Horizon
Unobstructed views of the deep blue Yellow Sea with clear horizons and maritime traffic.
Xinghai Cross-sea Bridge
A breathtaking look at Dalian's famous curved bridge if the flight path follows a southern approach.
Dalian Skyline
The dense urban architecture and coastal developments of Dalian city come into view during descent.
Dalian Harbor
Watch the diverse array of vessels, from small fishing boats to large cruise ships, near the harbor.
The right side is perfect for morning flights to avoid sun glare. For the best view of the Xinghai Bridge, hope for a southern approach (Runway 10), which is common during fair weather.
