FOC → HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a captivating perspective of the mainland China coastline, featuring the densely populated cities of Xiamen and Shantou, followed by a dramatic approach into the Pearl River Delta and the world-longest sea crossing bridge.
Xiamen Skyline
A clear view of Xiamen Island, including the famous Gulangyu Island and the Yanwu Bridge over the sea.
Meizhou Bay
A major deep-water port area showcasing China's massive maritime infrastructure and industrial coastal development.
Shantou Coastline
The urban sprawl of Shantou and the Han River delta as it flows into the South China Sea.
Shenzhen Cityscape
A breathtaking look at the skyscrapers of Shenzhen, including the Ping An Finance Centre, as the plane enters the PRD.
HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
The world's longest bridge-and-tunnel sea crossing is clearly visible during the descent into HKG.
The right side is superior for landmarks. Sit here for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Chinese mainland. Keep your camera ready as you pass Xiamen and during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
Pingtan Island
One of China's largest islands, known for its unique rocky landscape and wind farms right after takeoff from Fuzhou.
Taiwan Strait
A vast expanse of sea with heavy maritime traffic, often dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.
South China Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the sea, particularly stunning during sunrise or sunset on the eastern horizon.
Ninepin Group
A cluster of rugged, volcanic islands located within the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark visible during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon glare. It offers a more serene, ocean-centric view. During the approach to HKG from the north, you might spot the remote islands of the New Territories.
