Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushan Airport (Zhoushan) to Lianyungang Airport (Lianyungang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the massive urban development of the Yangtze River Delta, the intricate crossing of the Yangtze River itself, and the expansive agricultural and wetland landscapes of coastal Jiangsu.
Zhoushan Archipelago
Aerial view of the rugged islands and the impressive network of bridges connecting the archipelago to the mainland.
Hangzhou Bay
A glimpse of the massive Hangzhou Bay Bridge, one of the world's longest trans-oceanic crossings, stretching across the water.
Shanghai Urban Fringe
Distant views of the sprawling megacity's western suburbs and the dense infrastructure of the Yangtze River Delta.
Yangtze River Delta
The dramatic sight of the Yangtze River emptying into the sea, often marked by a clear color boundary between river sediment and ocean water.
Jiangsu Plains
A patchwork quilt of rice paddies, aquaculture ponds, and ancient canal systems characteristic of the 'Land of Fish and Rice'.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the transition from the rugged Zhoushan islands to the flat, watery plains of Jiangsu. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the sun reflecting off the water. Look for the massive cargo ships queuing for the Ningbo-Zhoushan port shortly after takeoff.
Mount Putuo
One of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism, visible as a prominent island sanctuary shortly after departure.
Yellow Sea Vistas
Expansive views of the deep blue Yellow Sea, dotted with fishing fleets and massive international container ships.
Offshore Wind Farms
Huge arrays of white wind turbines standing in the shallow waters along the Jiangsu coastline.
Chongming Island
The eastern tip of the world's largest estuarine alluvial island as you cross the mouth of the Yangtze.
Mount Huaguo
The legendary 'Mountain of Flowers and Fruit' comes into view during the descent into Lianyungang.
The right side is perfect for those who enjoy the serenity of the open sea. Keep an eye out for the distinct line where the brown river water meets the blue sea. During sunset flights, the right side offers a spectacular view of the sun dipping behind the coastal mountains as you approach Lianyungang.
