Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the massive Pearl River Delta urbanization and the iconic Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge during the final descent, alongside views of the Yangtze River crossing.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌆

Zhengzhou Expansion

View the rapid urban development and industrial parks on the southeastern outskirts of Henan's capital.

🌊

Middle Yangtze River

Cross over the winding Yangtze River east of Wuhan, showcasing heavy barge traffic and massive bridge infrastructure.

💧

Poyang Lake Horizon

On clear days, the vast waters of China's largest freshwater lake are visible to the southeast.

🏗️

PRD Megalopolis

Observe the endless urban sprawl of Dongguan and Shenzhen as you enter Guangdong province.

🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

The world's longest sea-crossing bridge is clearly visible stretching across the Lingdingyang channel.

🏙️

Hong Kong Skyline

Distant but distinct views of Lantau Island and the skyscrapers of the New Territories.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge during the approach. Choose a morning flight (08:00-11:00) to have the sun behind you for clearer photos of the Pearl River Delta. Window seats ahead of the wing are best to avoid engine heat haze.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Funiu Mountains

Aerial views of the rugged mountain ranges in southern Henan as the plane reaches cruising altitude.

🛶

Dongting Lake

A major highlight featuring the expansive wetlands and floodplains of the Hunan province.

🌲

Nanling Mountain Range

Fly over the lush, green forested ridges that historically separated Central China from the South.

🗼

Guangzhou CBD

Look for the needle-like silhouette of the Canton Tower rising from the Guangzhou urban core.

🏖️

Zhuhai Coastline

Excellent views of the seaside 'Lovers' Road' and the Xiangzhou district just before landing.

🎰

Macau Cotai Strip

Depending on the landing pattern, get a direct look at the grand architecture of the major casino resorts.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. Watch for the dramatic change from the flat plains of Henan to the mountainous terrain of northern Guangdong. If the flight arrives from the south, the right side gets a spectacular view of the Macau Peninsula.
