Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the most iconic landmarks of the Greater Bay Area, including the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the glittering skylines of Hong Kong and Shenzhen during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Wanshan Archipelago

Clusters of emerald islands scattered across the South China Sea as you enter the Pearl River Delta approach.

🌉

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

An incredible top-down view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge and its artificial islands.

✈️

HK International Airport

Frequently see the massive three-runway system and aircraft movements at Chek Lap Kok from above.

🏙️

Hong Kong Skyline

On clear days, see the iconic skyscrapers of Victoria Harbour and the mountainous terrain of Lantau Island.

🏢

Shenzhen CBD

During final approach, enjoy a close-up view of the Ping An Finance Centre and the dense, modern skyline of Nanshan and Futian.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right side for a night flight. The 'Sea of Lights' from Hong Kong and the HZMB is world-class. If flying during the day, keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing when the plane begins its descent over the islands.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Haikou Coastline

Aerial views of Haikou's northern beaches and the bustling city urban planning as you climb out of Meilan Airport.

🌊

Qiongzhou Strait

Watch the busy shipping lanes and ferries crossing the narrow body of water separating Hainan Island from mainland China.

🏗️

Zhanjiang Port

A clear view of the industrial and naval infrastructure of Zhanjiang city and its deep-water harbor.

🌆

Zhuhai & Macau

As the plane approaches the Pearl River Delta, see the dense urban clusters of Zhuhai and the distinct casinos of Macau.

🌉

Humen Bridge

View the massive suspension bridge spanning the Pearl River, a critical link in the region's transport network.

Sit on the left if you prefer views of the mainland coastline and the western side of the Pearl River Delta. This side is particularly good for seeing the sunset if you are on a late afternoon flight, as the sun will be behind you or to your side, illuminating the coast without glare.
