Which side of the plane to sit from Tongliao Airport (Tongliao) to Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Shanghai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the diverse landscapes transitioning from the Inner Mongolian plateaus, across the rugged Shandong hills, to the intricate river networks of the Yangtze Delta.

Horqin Sandy Land
Unique desertified landscapes and dunes located just south of Tongliao city.
Shandong Highlands
The rugged, mountainous terrain of central Shandong province, contrasting sharply with the northern plains.
Grand Canal
Possible sightings of segments of the historic Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal as it winds through Jiangsu.
Yangtze River Delta
A dense network of lakes, canals, and rivers that characterize the fertile regions of southern Jiangsu.
Shanghai Urban Fringe
Panoramic views of the endless urban sprawl of the Greater Shanghai area during the initial descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Chinese mainland. Look out for the transition from the arid north to the water-rich south. During descent, try to spot the distinct line where the brown Yangtze silt meets the blue water of the East China Sea.

Horqin Grasslands
Expansive green plains and agricultural patches visible immediately after departure from Tongliao.
Bohai Sea Crossing
A long stretch over the deep blue waters of the Bohai Sea and the northern Yellow Sea.
Donghai Bridge
During the final approach to PVG, you can often see this massive bridge stretching into the East China Sea.
Yangtze Shipping Lanes
Countless cargo ships and tankers anchored near the mouth of the Yangtze River waiting for port entry.
Pudong Coastline
Direct views of the seawalls and reclaimed land surrounding the Pudong International Airport.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is best for seeing the massive offshore wind farms and the coastal infrastructure of the Yangtze estuary during the descent. If the plane circles over the sea before landing, the left side offers the best maritime views.
