Hotel: Beijing Yamei International Hotel (not the Langham, too expensive and most aircrafts cannot be read off)
Spotting: done from the West Lake Park, 2x inbound runways plus 1x outbound are covered
Other info: Twice (on Friday and Monday) we took a taxi to the area where the CAAC private jets are parked. Approx 15 biz (4 CAAC jets) were parked on this ramp so worth the trip. Costs 100 yuan (max Eur 15) for a return trip to this area.

Guangzhou Baiyun (CAN) 17aug-20aug = 7x biz

17aug 21.50-23.30 = 1x biz
18aug 07.35-19.30 = 5x biz
19aug 08.00-19.30 = 1x biz
20aug 08.40-10.50 = 0x biz

Hotel: Guanghzou June Hotel (not the Pullman, too expensive. We did visit this hotel to check the view, but we were pretty sure not all movements could be read off making it a good decision not to book this hotel)
Spotting: Done on a grassy area near the cross taxi way on the south side of the airport. Lucky with the use of runway, departing aircrafts could be read off on both runways, one 'landing runway' as well.

Shanghai Hongqiao 20aug-21aug = 25x biz

20aug 12.45-23.30 = 24x biz
21aug 06.40-11.40 = 1x biz

Hotel: Shanghai Hongqiao Airport Hotel (Air China), an executive room is required. We got a room on the 10th floor, great view and nothing could be missed, even taxiing traffic could be read off in the dark.
Info: you need a good binocular to read off the biz. Furthermore traffic repeating soon, so 1x night is enough to cover all (based) aircrafts.

Shanghai Pudong 21aug-23aug = 11x biz

21aug 14.45-23.30 = 8x biz
22aug 06.45-23.30 = 1x biz
23aug 06.45-14.55 = 2x biz

Hotel: Ramada Plaza Shanghai Pudong Airport (not the Dazhong, 3 years ago it was booked but we cancelled the hotel upon arrival as reading off is almost a no go. Went to the Ramada which turned out to be a good decision)
This time we were located room 905, which is not an executive room (so not that expensive). All movements can be seen. Once departing from the hotel, 100% can be read off. Once departing towards the hotel you need a steady hand but at least 95% can be read off as well.

With best regards,
