CJU → SZX
Which side of the plane to sit from Jeju International Airport (Cheju) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular continuous view of the rugged Chinese coastline, including the mountainous Fujian province and several major coastal cities before descending into Shenzhen.
Jeju Coastline
Excellent views of the northern Jeju cliffs and the airport area immediately after takeoff.
Xiamen Cityscape
A clear view of the circular Xiamen island and the dense urban development of this coastal hub.
Fujian Mountains
The dramatic, misty topography of the Wuyi mountain range foothills along the southeastern coast.
Shantou Port
Observation of the massive industrial port facilities and coastal infrastructure of eastern Guangdong.
Shenzhen Skyscrapers
As the plane aligns for SZX, you get a close-up view of the rapidly expanding northern Shenzhen districts.
The right side is superior for geography enthusiasts. Opt for a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side avoids direct glare during afternoon flights heading southwest.
Hallasan Mountain
A final look at South Korea's highest peak as the plane turns southwest away from Jeju.
Taiwan Strait
Views of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, often dotted with massive container ships.
Hong Kong Skyline
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of Central and Kowloon are visible during the descent.
HZMB Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao is visible near the end.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to catch the sun dipping below the horizon over the South China Sea. During descent, look for the complex bridge and tunnel systems of the Pearl River Delta.
