Pearl River Delta Urban Hub
Bird's eye view of the massive urban sprawl of Foshan and Jiangmen immediately after departure.
Hailing Island & Shapa
Stunning views of the white sand beaches and turquoise waters of the Yangjiang coastal area.
South China Sea Shipping
Vast ocean vistas dotted with large cargo ships and fishing fleets heading toward the Malacca Strait.
Zhanjiang Bay Bridge
A magnificent cable-stayed bridge spanning the bay, visible during the final descent into Zhanjiang.
South Sea Fleet Base
Clear views of the strategically important deep-water harbor and various naval vessels at Zhanjiang Port.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline perfectly. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the Zhanjiang Bay Bridge which serves as a majestic gateway to the city. Coastal fog can occur in spring, so autumn and winter offer the clearest views of the islands.
