Which side of the plane to sit from Dayong Airport (Dayong) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is significantly better for this route as it offers an unparalleled bird's-eye view of the iconic Tianmen Mountain and its 'Gate to Heaven' immediately after takeoff, followed by a scenic approach over the Pearl River Estuary into Shenzhen.

Tianmen Mountain
The star attraction; see the massive natural cave 'Heaven's Gate' and the legendary 99-bend winding road right after takeoff.
Nanling Mountains
Fly over the rugged peaks and deep forested valleys that separate the Hunan and Guangdong provinces.
Pearl River Estuary
View the massive shipping lanes, the Humen Bridge, and the intricate network of islands in the Lingdingyang area.
Qianhai Financial District
As the plane banks for landing at SZX, enjoy a close-up view of the modern skyscrapers and the Ferris wheel in western Shenzhen.
A right-side window seat is essential for seeing Tianmen Mountain; the airport is adjacent to the mountain, so be ready with your camera immediately after wheels up. During landing, this side often provides views of the coast and the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link construction.
