Which side of the plane to sit from Yancheng Airport (Yancheng) to Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🦩

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

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.
