PVG → WNZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Shanghai) to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of urban skylines, massive engineering feats like the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, and the rugged mountain ranges of Zhejiang province.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
A spectacular view of one of the world's longest cross-sea bridges shortly after departing Shanghai.
Ningbo Cityscape
A clear view of the urban sprawl and the major river confluences as you pass near this major port city.
Zhejiang Mountains
The dramatic ridges and green peaks of the Kuocang and Siming mountain ranges inland.
Yueqing Bay
Intricate coastal wetlands and geometric patterns of fish farms just before the final approach into Wenzhou.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to see the sunset over the mountains. Keep a sharp eye out within the first 10-15 minutes after takeoff from PVG to see the Hangzhou Bay Bridge.
East China Sea
Expansive views of the vast turquoise waters as the aircraft tracks parallel to the coastline.
Zhoushan Archipelago
Dozens of small, verdant islands scattered across the water, including the famous Putuoshan.
Shipping Channels
Observe dense concentrations of container ships and tankers navigating the world's busiest port approaches.
Sunrise Horizon
On early morning departures, witness the sun rising directly over the Pacific horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the sea. This side is also best for spotting the remote island chains that dot the Zhejiang coast, providing a serene maritime perspective.
