Which side of the plane to sit from Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha) to Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the sprawling urban landscape of the Pearl River Delta and the iconic Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during the final approach into Zhuhai.
Zhuzhou Skyline
Aerial views of the industrial landscape and the sharp bends of the Xiang River shortly after departing Changsha.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged, green ridgelines that form the natural border between Hunan and Guangdong provinces.
Pearl River Delta East
The dense metropolitan cluster of Dongguan and Shenzhen visible as you enter the high-traffic corridor of Guangdong.
HZMB Bridge
A magnificent view of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge stretching across the Lingdingyang waters during descent.
Lingdingyang Shipping
Dozens of cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy maritime channels of the Pearl River estuary.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun while capturing the Pearl River Delta. During the descent into Zhuhai, keep your camera ready for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which is most visible from this side when the flight follows typical arrival patterns from the north.
Xiang River Meanders
Follow the winding path of the Xiang River as it flows through the heart of southern Hunan province.
Northern Guangdong Forests
Lush, mountainous terrain and deep green valleys characteristic of the Shaoguan and Qingyuan regions.
Jiangmen & Zhongshan
Views of the western side of the Pearl River Delta, showing the rapid urban development in Jiangmen.
Modaomen Estuary
The complex network of silt-rich river channels where the West River meets the South China Sea near Zhuhai.
Zhuhai Coastal Islands
Small, rocky islands scattered along the coastline as the plane aligns with the runway at Jinwan Airport.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the western Guangdong hills. It provides a great view of the inland river systems and the quieter, greener outskirts of the Greater Bay Area before landing.
