This accelerated video (3-minute long initially), shows a take off from Beijing - to then reach Shanghai.
If at the beginning - as well as at mid-altitude - the usual smog of pollution is clearly visible (short line of sight), it's when we quit that everyday mist that we realize its hugeness: it actually seems to be an enormous cloud encompassing the whole city.
At least if you travel there during summer you will be partially protected from the sunlight (it's already really hot without it anyway :-)

  • no point in complaining about airpollution while actually sitting in a plane, right

  • Sure, better go there by boat, train or even bicycle :-)

    I don't know what you do for living, but when travelling for professional purposes, a 1-week trip is not really effective...

  • pls switch off ur electronic device when taking off.

    safe?

  • My digital camera is EMC compliant :-)

  • very nice, i got some plane vids too.

  • but what is less common is that grey layer above the city... :-/

see all
