LYI → PVG
Which side of the plane to sit from Shubuling Airport (Linyi) to Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Shanghai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the diverse inland water systems of Jiangsu, the massive Yangtze River crossings, and the urban expansion of the Shanghai metropolitan area.
Jiangsu Farmlands
A patchwork of rice paddies and aquaculture ponds typical of the Huai River basin.
Grand Canal
The historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal visible as a silver thread winding through northern Jiangsu.
Gaoyou Lake
A large freshwater lake that creates a beautiful mirror effect during the descent phase.
Yangtze River Crossing
Views of the massive Sutong or Shanghai-Yangtze River Bridge connecting the north and south banks.
Shanghai Skyline
Distant views of the Lujiazui financial district towers and the sprawling urban density of Puxi.
Evening flights are ideal for catching the sunset over the Yangtze River Delta. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the ground. Look for the distinct change in landscape as the rural fields of Linyi transform into the high-density urban clusters of the Shanghai-Nantong corridor.
Yellow Sea Coastline
Distant views of the Haizhou Bay and the coastal boundary of eastern China.
Chongming Island
The northern perspective of the world's largest alluvial island at the Yangtze mouth.
East China Sea Shipping
Dozens of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the busy approach lanes to Shanghai's ports.
PVG Perimeter
A full view of the massive runway layout and terminals of Pudong Airport during final approach.
Choose a morning flight for spectacular sunrises over the Yellow Sea. If the flight approaches PVG from the east, this side provides a stunning view of the coastline and the vast East China Sea. Keep your camera ready as you bank over the water for landing.
