Which side of the plane to sit from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Shanghai) to Anshan Air Base (Anshan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Chinese coastline, including the Yangtze River Delta and the sprawling industrial architecture of Anshan during the descent.
Yangtze River Delta
Aerial perspective of the massive river mouth and the intricate network of canals around Shanghai.
Qingdao Coastline
Views of the red-roofed architecture and coastal scenery of the Shandong Peninsula's southern tip.
Lianyungang Port
One of China's largest container ports and the eastern terminus of the New Eurasian Land Bridge.
Anshan Industrial Zone
Dramatic views of one of China's largest steel production complexes as the flight prepares for landing.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the dramatic change from the green wetlands of Jiangsu to the more rugged, mountainous terrain of the Liaoning province during the final 30 minutes of the flight.
Chongming Island
The world's largest alluvial island, visible shortly after takeoff from Pudong.
Yellow Sea Shipping
Dozens of cargo ships and tankers dotting the sea lanes between China, Korea, and Japan.
Bohai Gulf Crossing
The vast blue expanse as the flight crosses the maritime gateway to Northern China.
Qianshan Mountains
The 'Thousand Lotus Flower Mountains' are visible to the east during the approach to Anshan.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Bohai Sea. In winter, look for ice formations along the northern coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula.
