Which side of the plane to sit from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of inland mountain ranges, the sprawling urban centers of the Pearl River Delta, the rugged Vietnamese coastline, and a iconic view of the Singapore skyline upon approach.
Wuyi Mountains
Aerial perspectives of the dramatic UNESCO-listed peaks and tea-growing valleys of the Wuyi range in southern China.
Pearl River Delta
On clear days, the massive urban sprawl of Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Macau is visible as you track south towards the sea.
Central Vietnam Coast
Stunning views of the white sand beaches and turquoise waters near Da Nang and Nha Trang as the flight path skirts the Indochina peninsula.
Singapore Skyline
If landing on Runway 20, you will be treated to a breathtaking view of Marina Bay Sands and the Central Business District.
Changi Jewel
Depending on the approach path, you might catch a glimpse of the iconic doughnut-shaped Jewel complex just before touchdown.
For the best chance of seeing the Singapore skyline, hope for a southerly landing (Runway 20L/R). Morning flights are best for this side to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Vietnamese coast and the skyscrapers of the Pearl River Delta.
Fujian Coastline
View the jagged edges where the mountains of Fujian meet the East China Sea shortly after departure.
Paracel Islands
Mid-flight, spot these isolated coral atolls and turquoise lagoons scattered across the deep blue South China Sea.
Singapore Strait Anchorage
Witness the world's densest concentration of cargo ships and tankers waiting outside one of the world's busiest ports.
Pulau Tekong
A view of Singapore's largest outlying island, covered in thick secondary rainforest as you descend into Changi.
The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun over the South China Sea. During descent into Singapore from the north, you'll get a clear look at the Malaysian coastline of Johor before crossing the strait.
