Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌾

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.
