Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Hong Kong and Shenzhen skylines during departure, followed by a dramatic coastal approach over the Yellow Sea into Dalian's urban waterfront.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏙️

Victoria Harbour

Breathtaking views of Hong Kong Island's dense skyscraper skyline and the Peak if the flight takes off towards the east.

🌃

Shenzhen Skyline

A panorama of the rapidly growing Futian and Nanshan districts, featuring the Ping An Finance Center.

🏞️

Wuyi Mountain Range

Distant views of the scenic mist-covered peaks along the Fujian and Jiangxi border.

⚓

Yellow Sea

The deep blue waters of the Yellow Sea as the plane crosses from the Shandong Peninsula toward Liaoning.

🏝️

Dalian Waterfront

Prime views of Xinghai Square, the cross-sea bridge, and the rugged, indented coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula.

The right side is unbeatable for the Dalian approach; most flight paths circle from the south, giving this side a perfect view of the city's coastal landmarks and bridges. Aim for a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed photos of the Shenzhen skyscrapers.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌉

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

A clear view of the world's longest bridge-tunnel system stretching across the Pearl River estuary.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

The rugged, forested peaks of northern Guangdong and southern Jiangxi provinces.

🌊

Yangtze River Crossing

Aerial perspective of China's longest river as the flight path moves north through central-eastern China.

🌾

Anhui Agricultural Plains

Distinctive geometric patterns of farmland and rural settlements in the North China Plain transition zone.

🚢

Bohai Bay

Vistas of the busy shipping lanes and the industrial coastline of the Bohai Sea during descent.

Sit on the left if you are interested in the engineering marvels of the HKZM bridge on takeoff. For the best lighting, morning flights are preferred as the sun will be behind you while looking west over the inland landscapes.
