A stunning view of the Lujiazui financial district and the Pearl Tower shortly after takeoff from Pudong.

Yi River Descent
The wide, shimmering Yi River serves as a major landmark during the descent into Linyi airport.
Sit on the left to avoid direct morning glare if flying early. This side is particularly rewarding during sunset flights as the sun dips below the horizon over the inland plains. Watch for the distinct change in landscape from the dense Shanghai metropolis to the organized farmlands of northern China.
