Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers breathtaking views of the karst mountain formations near the Hunan-Guangxi border and a panoramic view of the Leizhou Peninsula's western coastline upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🛶

Xiang River Valley

Follow the winding path of the Xiang River as it meanders through the lush green basins of central Hunan.

🏔️

Karst Topography

Spectacular limestone formations characteristic of the Guangxi region become visible midway through the flight.

🌳

Nanling Mountains

Fly over the dense subtropical forests and rugged ridges of the mountain range separating Hunan from the southern coast.

🏖️

Beibu Gulf Coastline

As the plane turns for its final approach, enjoy sweeping views of the turquoise waters and white sands of the Gulf of Tonkin.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Gulf of Tonkin. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the best karst mountain scenery. During the winter months, this side often provides clearer views of the mist-covered valleys of the Nanling range.

⛰️

Mount Heng Range

Catch glimpses of the peaks of Nanyue Hengshan, one of the Five Sacred Mountains of China, shortly after departure.

🏙️

Wuzhou Cityscape

The confluence of the Xun and Gui rivers at the border of Guangxi and Guangdong is visible on clear days.

🌉

Zhanjiang Bay Bridge

A massive cable-stayed bridge spanning the bay, providing a grand entrance to the city during the final descent.

🛳️

Zhanjiang Port

Detailed views of one of China's most important deep-water ports and naval bases as you approach the runway.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare. This side is superior for viewing the urban layout of Zhanjiang and the impressive Bay Bridge during the final approach phase. Look for the massive industrial clusters on Donghai Island just before landing.
