[中国旅盟（www.ruchina.com）]

Pudong International Airport faces the East China Sea. It is about 30
kilometers from downtown Shanghai, and occupies an area of about 32
square kilometers. The whole project took the two years to complete.
The construction area of the main building of Pudong International
Airport is about 278,000 square meters. What is truly spectacular
about this building is that its shape is that of an extremely big mew
stretching its wings to soar above the sea. Pudong International
Airport can provide landing service for 36 aircrafts simultaneously.
In addition, even the largest commercial aircraft in the world can be
handled by this immense airport.

Pudong International Airport is the only airport in the world that
allows visitors to enter the conning tower. The openness and sublime
mightiness have made this international airport one of the top scenic
attractions of Shanghai. Stepping onto the observation deck on the
sixth floor of the conning tower, you get a panoramic view of the
arrivals and departures building, the runway and a selection of planes
on parking apron. Meanwhile you have the chance to witness airliners'
take-off and land with engines roaring. You rarely see this
spectacular scene at any other airport. This is one of the finest
airport of the world.
