HGH → LYI
Which side of the plane to sit from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou) to Shubuling Airport (Linyi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the massive Yangtze River engineering projects and the historic Grand Canal that intersects the North China Plain.
Yangtze River Crossing
A dramatic view of the world's busiest waterway, featuring massive bridges and a high density of shipping traffic.
The Grand Canal
Segments of the ancient world-heritage waterway snaking through the agricultural plains of Jiangsu Province.
Hongze Lake
The fourth-largest freshwater lake in China, known for its unique wetland patterns and high dikes.
Jiangsu Farmlands
A geometric patchwork of highly organized agricultural grids typical of the fertile Huai River basin.
The Yangtze River crossing is the highlight; keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after departing HGH. Morning flights offer the best clarity to see the distant coastline of the Yellow Sea if visibility is high.
Hangzhou Urban Core
Clear views of the Qiantang River and the dense skyscrapers of the Qianjiang New Town upon departure.
Lake Tai (Taihu)
A massive freshwater lake appearing on the horizon as the flight moves into the Yangtze River Delta.
Yimeng Mountains
The rugged, ancient terrain of the Yimeng range visible during the descent into Southern Shandong.
Opt for an afternoon flight on the left side to enjoy the sunset lighting up the Yimeng Mountains as you approach Linyi. Best views of Hangzhou's urban sprawl occur within the first 10 minutes of takeoff.
