Which side of the plane to sit from Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou) to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (Shanghai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior scenic experience with sweeping views of the East China Sea coastline, the dense Zhoushan Archipelago, and the massive bridges spanning Hangzhou Bay.
East China Sea Coast
The rugged coastline where the mountains of Zhejiang meet the blue-grey waters of the Pacific.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A stunning collection of hundreds of islands and islets scattered across the sea near the mouth of Hangzhou Bay.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
One of the world's longest trans-oceanic bridges, recognizable by its distinct S-curve and central service platform.
Yangshan Port
The massive deep-water container port and the long Donghai Bridge connecting it to the mainland.
Pudong Distant View
On clear days during the descent into Hongqiao, the iconic skyscrapers of Lujiazui are visible in the distance.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the sea and islands. Ensure a window seat away from the wing to fully appreciate the massive scale of the Hangzhou Bay infrastructure. Keep your camera ready for the Zhoushan islands shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Wenzhou Skyline
A clear view of the Ou River and the rapidly expanding urban center of Wenzhou shortly after takeoff.
Kuocang Mountains
Lush, green mountain ridges of eastern Zhejiang province visible during the initial climb.
Ningbo West
The sprawling industrial and residential districts of western Ningbo as the flight heads north.
Yangtze Delta Plains
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and canal networks characteristic of the southern Yangtze Delta.
Sit on the left during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the ocean. This side is better for observing the inland terrain and the transition from mountainous Zhejiang to the flat plains of the delta.
