Which side of the plane to sit from Jinzhou Airport (Jinzhou) to Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Shanghai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the urban sprawl of Jinzhou, the mountainous terrain of the Shandong Peninsula, and the intricate canal networks of Jiangsu before arriving in Shanghai.
Jinzhou Urban View
Immediate views of Jinzhou's city layout and industrial zones upon departure.
Shandong Highlands
Views of the granite peaks and rugged terrain as the flight traverses the Shandong Peninsula.
Qingdao Coastline
Occasional sightings of the famous coastal city's red-tiled roofs and winding bays.
Jiangsu Canal Network
The 'Venice of the East' geography featuring thousands of small canals, ponds, and rice paddies.
Shanghai Outskirts
The dense, high-rise urban expansion of the Yangtze River Delta during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights, as you can witness the sunset over the Chinese mainland. Request a seat forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Shandong mountains. During the descent, look for the high-speed rail lines and dense expressway networks that characterize the developed Jiangsu province.
Bohai Sea Expanse
Deep blue views of the northern Chinese gulf shortly after departing Jinzhou.
Liaodong Peninsula
Distant views of the rugged coastline near Dalian across the water.
Yellow Sea Shipping Lanes
Observation of heavy maritime traffic and cargo vessels heading toward major northern ports.
Chongming Island
A spectacular view of the world's largest alluvial island located at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
Yangtze River Estuary
The dramatic meeting point of the river silt and the sea water as you descend into Pudong.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight, though you may experience some glare from the sea. This side is superior for observing the distinct color change in the water where the Yangtze River flows into the East China Sea. It is also the best side for viewing the massive offshore wind farms near the Jiangsu coast.
