Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a spectacular panorama of the Shenzhen skyline during the initial climb and the sacred Mount Heng landscape during the descent into Hunan.
Shenzhen Metropolis
A front-row seat to the massive skyscrapers and rapid urbanization of the Special Economic Zone.
Danxia Mountains
Unique red sandstone geological formations visible near the Shaoguan region if the path is slightly east.
Mount Heng (Hengshan)
One of China's Five Sacred Mountains, known for its temples and cloud-shrouded peaks.
Xiang River Basin
The winding path of the Xiang River as it flows through the fertile plains towards Changsha.
Changsha Expansion
Aerial views of the rapid urban development and infrastructure in eastern Hunan during the final descent.
Best for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon glare. Look out for the Ping An Finance Centre in Shenzhen shortly after departure and the sacred peaks of Hengshan approximately 15 minutes before landing at CSX.
Pearl River Delta
Expansive views of the estuary and the engineering marvel of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.
Macau Skyline
A distant look at the integrated resorts and the unique geography of the Macau peninsula.
Nanling Range
Rolling green peaks that mark the natural border between Guangdong and Hunan provinces.
High-Speed Rail Network
Visualizing the complex infrastructure of China's high-speed rail lines cutting through the valleys.
Ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the mountainous terrain. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for the Pearl River bridges when departing HKG.
