Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, tracking the stunning coastline of Southeast China, providing bird's-eye views of major port cities, coastal islands, and the vast East China Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Qiongzhou Strait

A clear view of the narrow body of water separating Hainan Island from mainland China.

🏖️

Xiamen Coastline

Vivid views of the Xiamen island, Gulangyu, and the intricate bridge systems connecting the city.

🚢

Quanzhou Bay

Look down at one of the world's most historic maritime silk road ports with heavy shipping traffic.

⚓

Xiangshan Harbor

The jagged, narrow inlets and aquaculture farms of the Ningbo-bound coastline.

🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

During the final approach, the scattered islands of the East China Sea become visible to the east.

The right side is best for late afternoon flights to catch the 'golden hour' reflecting off the South China Sea. During descent into NGB, watch for the massive container ships entering the Ningbo-Zhoushan port, one of the busiest in the world.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Haikou Urban Vista

Aerial view of Haikou city and the Meilan district immediately after takeoff.

🛤️

Leizhou Peninsula

The northern stretch of the Qiongzhou Strait and the agricultural landscapes of Guangdong's southernmost point.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountain Foothills

As the plane moves inland over Fujian, witness the rugged, mist-covered peaks of the northern mountain ranges.

🌲

Siming Mountains

Lush green forest cover and deep valleys as the aircraft descends into the Zhejiang province interior.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and see the misty inland mountain ranges of Fujian and Zhejiang. Keep an eye out for the complex river networks of the Pearl River Delta in the distance.
