Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers breathtaking views of the Yellow Sea coastline and a more scenic approach into the Dalian harbor area, especially during the descent over the Liaodong Peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Yellow Sea Horizon

Enjoy expansive views of the blue waters where the sky meets the sea during the mid-flight cruise.

🚢

Lianyungang Port

Witness one of China's busiest maritime gateways with massive container ships and coastal infrastructure.

🏝️

Sanshan Island

During the descent into DLC, look for the small islands scattered throughout the Dalian Bay.

🌉

Dalian Coastal Cliffs

The rugged coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula is visible as the plane aligns with the runway.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the golden hour light reflecting off the Yellow Sea. Keep an eye out for offshore wind farms along the Jiangsu coastline during the first half of the trip.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌾

Jiangsu Waterlands

View the intricate network of canals and agricultural grids that define the northern Yangtze River Delta.

🛶

Grand Canal

Spot sections of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal snaking through the landscape near Yangzhou.

⛰️

Yuntai Mountain

Look for the peaks of the Yuntai range near Lianyungang as you head north towards the sea.

🏙️

Dalian Urban Sprawl

As the plane banks for arrival, enjoy views of the dense skyscraper clusters and parks of central Dalian.

Opt for the left side on morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for observing the inland hydraulic engineering and the vast plains of Northern Jiangsu before hitting the coast.
