Which side of the plane to sit from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou) to Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic descent into the Pearl River Delta, offering clear views of the Hunan mountains, Guangzhou's western fringes, and the iconic Macau skyline during the final approach.
Dongting Lake
Distant views of China's second-largest freshwater lake, a vital part of the Yangtze ecosystem.
Mount Heng
Look for one of the Five Great Mountains of China, known as the 'Southern Great Mountain' in Hunan.
Guangzhou Skyline
A glimpse of the Canton Tower and the dense skyscrapers of the Pearl River New City during the southern transit.
Macau Peninsula
Unrivaled views of the Grand Lisboa and Macau Tower as the plane aligns for the Zhuhai runway.
HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge visible as a thin line stretching across the Lingdingyang waters.
This side is essential for the arrival phase. As the plane approaches Zhuhai Jinwan, it often banks over the water, providing a stunning panorama of Macau and the bridge. Choose a morning flight to avoid direct glare from the sun on this side.
Yangtze River Crossing
Aerial view of the massive Yangtze River as it winds through the Hubei plains near Wuhan.
Jiangxi Farmlands
Intricate patterns of rice paddies and water networks characteristic of southern China's agriculture.
Nanling Mountain Range
The rugged green peaks that form the natural border between Central China and the Guangdong province.
Dongguan Industrial Hub
The sprawling urban and industrial landscape of the eastern Pearl River Delta as you begin your descent.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights as the sun sets to the west. This side offers a great perspective of the Yangtze's breadth. Watch for the change in terrain from the flat North China Plain to the folded mountains of the south.
