Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is highly recommended for its spectacular views of the Pearl River Delta, including the skylines of Shenzhen and Macau, and the iconic Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Taihu Basin

Shortly after takeoff, view the expansive network of canals and the southern tip of Lake Taihu bordering Zhejiang province.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountain Range

Cruising over the border of Jiangxi and Fujian offers views of lush, mist-covered peak formations and deep green valleys.

🏙️

Shenzhen Skyline

As the plane descends into the Pearl River Delta, the dense skyscraper clusters of Shenzhen are often visible to the east.

🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

A breathtaking view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Lingdingyang channel.

🎰

Macau Peninsula

On final approach to Jinwan Airport, the distinct casinos and the Macau Tower provide a brilliant urban display.

For the best experience, choose a flight arriving in the late afternoon or early evening. The setting sun will illuminate the Pearl River Delta from the west, making the landmarks on the left side stand out with high contrast. During winter months, the air is typically clearer, providing better visibility of the coastal islands and the bridge.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🛶

Jiangnan Water Towns

Observe the intricate traditional urban layouts and water systems of the southern Yangtze River Delta during initial climb.

💧

Poyang Lake Distant View

On a clear day, the western horizon may reveal the vast expanse of China's largest freshwater lake in Jiangxi.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

Rugged terrain and high-altitude forestry marking the geographic transition into the humid subtropical Guangdong region.

🏭

Guangzhou Manufacturing Hubs

View the massive industrial parks and logistics centers of Dongguan and Foshan as you enter the Pearl River Delta airspace.

🏖️

Zhuhai West Coast

A close-up look at the developing Jinwan district and the sandy stretches of the southern Zhuhai coastline.

The right side is ideal for avoiding the harsh morning sun on southbound flights. It offers an excellent perspective of the inland Pearl River Delta's industrial might. Watch for the transformation of the landscape from the flat plains of Jiangsu to the rugged mountains of southern China.
