Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the rugged mountain ranges of Fujian province and the iconic urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta, including the Shenzhen and Hong Kong skylines during descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🛶

Fuchun River

The winding river valleys south of Hangzhou, famous for inspiring classical Chinese landscape paintings.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

The western horizon features the hazy, jagged peaks of the Wuyi mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

🏙️

Xiamen Island

A clear view of the circular urban layout of Xiamen and the pedestrian-only Gulangyu Island.

🌆

Shenzhen Skyline

During descent, the massive skyscrapers of Shenzhen, including the Ping An Finance Centre, dominate the view.

🏙️

Victoria Harbour

Unmatched views of the Kowloon Peninsula, Lion Rock, and the dense skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island during the final turn.

For the best experience, sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Hong Kong skyline. If the flight lands toward the west (Runway 25), this side offers world-class urban views. In the afternoon, be prepared for some glare as the sun sets in the west.

✈️

Ninepin Group

Unique volcanic rock formations and small islands as the plane enters Hong Kong airspace from the east.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides excellent views of the ocean and the coastal geography of Fujian. During the final approach into HKG Runway 25L, you will see the southern islands of Hong Kong and the South China Sea.
