Which side of the plane to sit from Yancheng Airport (Yancheng) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of coastal geography, including the dramatic islands of the Bohai Strait and the rugged coastline of the Dalian Peninsula as you cross into Northeast China.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Yellow Sea Horizon

Vast, open-water vistas shortly after takeoff from Yancheng, often dotted with commercial shipping vessels.

🏖️

Qingdao Coastline

Glimpses of the southern tip of the Shandong Peninsula, featuring coastal cliffs and the Laoshan mountain area.

🏝️

Miaodao Archipelago

The chain of small islands in the Bohai Strait that serve as a natural bridge between the Shandong and Liaodong peninsulas.

⚓

Dalian Peninsula

Clear views of the Lushun district and the strategic ports located at the southern tip of Liaoning.

🏙️

Hun River Valley

The scenic approach into Shenyang following the path of the Hun River, providing a grand entrance to the city.

This is the preferred side for morning flights to catch the sunrise reflecting off the water. The highlight is the crossing of the Bohai Strait; keep your camera ready for the island chains and the distinct boundary where different sea currents meet near Dalian.

🏭

Lianyungang Port

Aerial views of one of China's major coastal transport hubs and the start of the New Eurasian Land Bridge.

⛰️

Shandong Highlands

Distances views of the rugged, mountainous interior of the Shandong Peninsula as the flight heads north.

🌾

Panjin Wetlands

The unique Liaohe River Delta, famous for its seasonal 'Red Beach' and sprawling reed marshes.

🏢

Shenyang Western Suburbs

A view of the rapid urban expansion and industrial zones on the western edge of the Liaoning capital.

Opt for this side during afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the Yellow Sea. Look closely for the distinct color patterns of the Panjin wetlands during the autumn months when the vegetation turns a deep crimson.
