HAKNNG

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the vast Beibu Gulf and the dramatic transition from the turquoise waters of the Qiongzhou Strait to the iconic karst mountain formations of Guangxi.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Haikou West Coast

Panoramic views of Haikou's modern skyline and the coastal parks during the initial climb.

🌊

Qiongzhou Strait

A clear view of the maritime channel separating Hainan Island from the Chinese mainland.

🚢

Beibu Gulf

Expansive vistas of the Gulf of Tonkin, often featuring clusters of fishing fleets and cargo vessels.

⛰️

Guangxi Karst Peaks

The first sightings of the unique limestone 'sugarloaf' mountains as you cross into inland Guangxi.

🛶

Western Nanning Suburbs

Lush greenery and winding river tributaries as the aircraft aligns for the final approach.

Book an evening flight to witness the sun setting over the Beibu Gulf. For the best photography of the karst topography near Nanning, a morning flight provides the best front-lighting. Avoid seats over the wing as the flight path is relatively low, making ground details very prominent.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏞️

Nandu River Delta

The intricate network of waterways forming the Nandu River's exit into the sea.

🏗️

Zhanjiang Peninsula

Views of the industrial and port infrastructure on the eastern edge of the Leizhou Peninsula.

🦐

Coastal Aquaculture

The geometric patchwork of shrimp and fish farms lining the southern Guangxi coastline near Hepu.

🌆

Nanning Green City

A view of Nanning's high-rise core, known for its extensive urban forestry and parks.

🌊

Yong River

The main artery of Nanning, visible snaking through the city center during the descent.

The right side is excellent for seeing the industrial heart of the region. Look out for the massive bridge projects connecting the coastal cities. During descent, this side often gets a closer look at the dense urban core of Nanning if the wind is from the north.
