Which side of the plane to sit from Anshan Air Base (Anshan) to Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Shanghai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a diverse visual experience, featuring the industrial landscapes of Liaoning, the crossing of the Bohai Strait, the agricultural plains of Jiangsu, and the iconic Shanghai skyline upon arrival.
Anshan Industrial Zone
The 'Steel Capital' of China provides a massive industrial panorama immediately after takeoff.
Mount Qian Scenic Area
Located just southeast of Anshan, these peaks are known for their unique rock formations and temples.
Shandong Peninsula
The flight path typically crosses the western side of the peninsula, offering views of the rugged coastline near Yantai.
Jiangsu Water Network
A stunning mosaic of fish ponds, canals, and the historic Grand Canal as you traverse Jiangsu province.
Shanghai Cityscape
During the descent into PVG, the right side often catches a glimpse of the Lujiazui skyscrapers and the Bund.
Sit on the right side for the highest chance of seeing the Shanghai skyline. During the afternoon, this side provides better lighting for photography of the Jiangsu wetlands, as the sun will be behind you. Look for the massive Yangtze River bridge crossings as you enter the Shanghai region.
Bohai Gulf Coast
Aerial views of the Liaodong Peninsula's eastern coastline as the flight heads south.
Changshan Islands
A cluster of islands in the northern Yellow Sea visible shortly after crossing the Liaoning coast.
Oceanic Sunrise
On early morning flights, the sun rises directly over the Yellow Sea, creating a spectacular light show.
Yellow Sea Shipping
One of the world's busiest maritime routes, dotted with massive cargo ships and tankers.
Chongming Island
The massive alluvial island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, featuring wetlands and wind farms.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the ocean. It is also the better side for viewing the sprawling terminal architecture of Pudong Airport during the final landing phase if the plane approaches from the north.
