PVG â DOY
Which side of the plane to sit from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Shanghai) to Dongying Shengli Airport (Dongying)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for viewing the transition from the Yangtze River delta to the Yellow River mouth, featuring intricate wetland systems and inland cities.
Yangtze River Delta
Dramatic aerial views of the massive river mouth and the intricate network of canals branching into Jiangsu.
Nantong Urban Area
A clear view of the rapidly developing city situated on the northern bank of the Yangtze River.
North China Plain
The vast, flat expanse of agricultural patchwork and ancient irrigation systems characteristic of eastern China.
Yellow River Meanders
The iconic silt-laden river as it winds through the delta region toward the coast.
Wetland Nature Reserve
The protected marshes of the Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve, home to rare bird species.
For the most vibrant views of the Yellow River's distinctive silt plumes, choose a morning flight to keep the sun behind you. Look for the sharp contrast where the river's yellow water meets the blue-green sea.
Chongming Island
A massive bird's-eye view of the world's largest alluvial island right after takeoff from PVG.
Yellow Sea Horizon
Expansive views of the maritime horizon where the coastal waters meet the open sea.
Haizhou Bay
The coastal curve near Lianyungang, often filled with large cargo ships and maritime traffic.
Bohai Oil Rigs
Spot the offshore drilling platforms belonging to the Shengli Oilfield scattered across the gulf.
Bohai Bay
The calm, enclosed waters of the Bohai Sea as the plane begins its final descent into Dongying.
The right side is perfect for spotting industrial maritime activity and offshore energy infrastructure. In the winter months, keep an eye out for sea ice forming along the coastlines of the Bohai Gulf.
