Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning vantage point of the East China Sea coastline and the dramatic final approach over Hong Kong and the world's longest sea-crossing bridge.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

East China Sea Coastline

Dramatic views of the jagged Fujian coastline with its numerous bays and islands.

🏙️

Xiamen and Gulangyu

Clear aerial views of the coastal city of Xiamen and the famous UNESCO heritage island Gulangyu.

🛳️

Taiwan Strait Shipping

Observe one of the world's busiest maritime corridors filled with international cargo vessels.

🌃

Hong Kong Skylines

A breathtaking view of Lantau Island and the towering skyscrapers of Hong Kong during the descent.

🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

An unparalleled view of the 55km bridge and tunnel system connecting the Pearl River Delta.

Choose a window seat on the left for the most scenic approach. If flying in the late afternoon, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for coastal photography. On the descent into MFM, the plane often makes a turn that showcases the bridge and Macau's casino strip.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

The inland mountain ranges of Fujian, often shrouded in a picturesque morning mist.

🏞️

Zhejiang Highlands

Rolling green hills and tea plantations visible shortly after departing Hangzhou.

🏭

Pearl River Delta Sprawl

The dense industrial and urban development of the Guangdong manufacturing heartland.

🏗️

Macau Peninsula

Close-up views of the Macau Tower and the densely populated historic center upon final approach.

The right side is better for viewing the inland mountain ranges and the industrial powerhouses of southern China. It is particularly interesting for those curious about the scale of urban development in the Greater Bay Area. Morning flights are best on this side to avoid the direct glare of the afternoon sun.
