Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a superior vantage point for witnessing the meeting of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea, followed by a dramatic traversal of the Yellow Sea coastline and the industrial marvels of Lianyungang.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Chongming Island

The world's largest alluvial silt island, clearly visible at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

🚢

Estuary Shipping Lanes

Hundreds of container ships and tankers queued at the gateway to the world's busiest ports.

🏖️

Yellow Sea Coastline

The beautiful, winding boundary between the muddy coastal waters and the deep blue of the Yellow Sea.

⚓

Lianyungang Port

A massive logistics hub featuring prominent breakwaters and the scenic Mount Yuntai rising near the shore.

🌬️

Offshore Wind Farms

Rows of white turbines standing in the shallow coastal waters of northern Jiangsu Province.

The right side is exceptional for morning flights when the sun reflects off the Yellow Sea. Watch for the 'sediment plume' where the brown Yangtze water mixes with the sea. On clear days, the coastal mountain ranges near Lianyungang provide a rare elevation change in an otherwise flat route.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Shanghai Urban Grid

A sprawling view of the dense architectural landscape of the Pudong and Puxi districts during initial climb.

🌊

Yangtze Crossing

Aerial perspective of the Sutong Yangtze River Bridge and the heavy river traffic near Nantong.

🛶

Jiangnan Waterways

The intricate network of ancient canals and modern irrigation systems that define the fertile Jiangsu plains.

🌾

Shandong Farmland

A patchwork of geometric agricultural plots that signal the approach into central Shandong province.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It offers the best views of the inland canal systems and the suburban expansion of Weifang during the final descent. Look for the distinct lack of hills as you fly over the flat North China Plain.
