Which side plane seat gives best aerial view of Beijing?

I'll be arriving in Beijing during day time (around 1500 hrs). Since this is my first visit to Beijing, I was hoping to catch a good aerial view of the city while the plane lands.

I already have a right window seat on the plane (right side assuming you are standing facing the pilot's end).

1. For those of you who have actual experience of Beijing's aerial view (preferably more than one time using both sides view), can you tell me if I should instead try for a left side window seat to afford a better aerial view of Beijing?

2. Also from a overall travel perspective (flight starting from Chicago), which side window seat you think will give the best possible view?

    This kind of question is almost impossible to answer because planes will use different flight paths depending on current weather conditions. This means that a plane that normally flies in over a city will not always fly in over the city.

    it depends on what the weather is like and wat the wind is like.. but even if u cant see it good from ur side.. if the plane turns.. look at the opposite side.. or even do it if it doesnt turn.. and im pretty sure the beijing airport is near the water.. there fore u might never see the city and only water until u land... airports are usually built a few miles from cities so they dont crash into sky scrapers and what not.. like 9/11
