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

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.
