For morning flights, the left side offers a stunning sunrise over the horizon, though glare can be intense. As you approach Shanghai, look for the massive wind farms located off the coast and the distinct divide between river and sea water. This side is typically better for seeing the iconic Donghai Bridge during certain approach patterns.
