HKG → HFE
Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Hefei Luogang International Airport (Hefei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Pearl River Delta, the massive Poyang Lake, and the scenic Chao Lake during the descent into Hefei.
Shenzhen Skyline
A panoramic view of the Nanshan and Futian districts' dense clusters of skyscrapers.
Gan River Basin
The winding main artery of Jiangxi province carving through the verdant landscape.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake, offering a shimmering expanse of water and wetlands.
Chao Lake
One of China's five largest freshwater lakes, visible just southeast of Hefei during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves west. Poyang Lake is most impressive during the summer rainy season when water levels are high. During descent, look for the urban expansion of Hefei stretching toward the shores of Chao Lake.
HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
Spectacular view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Lingdingyang channel.
Danxia Mountains
Distinctive red-colored sandstone landforms and jagged peaks in northern Guangdong province.
Ganzhou City
A bird's eye view of the historic city at the confluence of the Gong and Zhang rivers.
Dashu Mountain
An isolated extinct volcano providing a lush green landmark on the western outskirts of Hefei.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the intricate patterns of the Pearl River estuary islands.
