Which side of the plane to sit from Haikou Meilan International Airport (Haikou) to Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Shanghai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Chinese coastline and the spectacular Zhoushan Archipelago during the descent into Pudong.
Qiongzhou Strait
Clear views of the busy shipping lanes separating Hainan Island from the Leizhou Peninsula.
Xiamen Coastline
Distinctive views of the Xiamen island city and the surrounding coastal development.
Zhoushan Islands
A stunning collection of mountainous islands scattered in the East China Sea during the descent.
Yangshan Port
Views of the world's largest container port and the 32km Donghai Bridge stretching across the ocean.
Lujiazui Skyline
On specific flight paths, the right side provides a direct view of the Shanghai Tower and Oriental Pearl.
The right side is ideal for seeing the coastal geography. During the descent into PVG, the plane often maneuvers over the East China Sea, offering unique views of massive offshore wind farms and busy maritime traffic.
Haikou Skyline
Panoramic views of Haikou's urban center and northern beaches immediately after departure.
Fujian Mountains
Bird's-eye view of the dense, green mountain ranges of inland Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.
Hangzhou Bay
The massive expanse of the bay and the distant outline of the world's longest sea-crossing bridges.
Shanghai Puxi
Potential views of the historic Bund and the vast sprawl of western Shanghai during the arrival loop.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is excellent for viewing the inland geography and the dense urban expansion of China's eastern provinces.
