Shanghai Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the Huangpu River and the dense skyscrapers of the Pudong New Area during the initial climb.
Jiangsu Water Towns
The intricate network of canals, ponds, and traditional agriculture that characterizes the Yangtze River Delta region.
Shandong Peninsula
Occasional views of the rugged coastline near Qingdao and the mountainous interior of the Shandong province.
Horqin Grassland
The transition from agricultural plains to the vast, undulating steppes of Inner Mongolia as you descend into Tongliao.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Shanghai skyline if the wind dictates a northward takeoff. During the day, the sun will be behind you for much of the flight, reducing glare and making it easier to photograph the transition from the green south to the golden-brown north. Early morning flights offer soft lighting over the Inner Mongolian plains.

Chongming Island
A bird's-eye view of the world's largest alluvial island and its lush wetland parks at the mouth of the Yangtze.
Bohai Gulf
Deep blue waters and the silhouettes of massive cargo ships transiting one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
Liaodong Peninsula
The mountainous terrain near Dalian and the coastal cliffs of the northern Yellow Sea rim.
The right side is excellent for sea lovers. If the flight path takes a more easterly route over the Bohai Sea, you'll see the distinct coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula. Be aware that morning flights on this side may experience significant sun glare. In winter, look for sea ice formations along the northern coastlines of the Bohai Gulf.
