Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a continuous panorama of the winding South China coastline, numerous tropical islands, and the vast expanse of the Taiwan Strait during the approach to Quanzhou.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Sai Kung Peninsula

Stunning views of Hong Kong's Geopark, featuring emerald waters, white sand beaches, and volcanic rock formations.

⚛️

Daya Bay

Clear visibility of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant complex and the picturesque Dapeng Peninsula coastline.

🌉

Nan'ao Island & Bridge

The large, crescent-shaped Nan'ao Island and its impressively long bridge connecting it to the mainland near Shantou.

🌊

Taiwan Strait

The vast blue horizon where the South China Sea meets the Taiwan Strait, often dotted with cargo ships and fishing fleets.

⚓

Quanzhou Bay Bridge

During the final descent, catch a view of the massive cross-sea bridge spanning the Quanzhou Bay area.

The right side is best for sunset flights as the sun reflects off the sea. Keep your camera ready during the first 15 minutes for Hong Kong's islands and the last 10 minutes for the Quanzhou coastal approach. Look for traditional Fujianese 'Tulou' circular buildings in the rural areas during descent.

🏙️

Shenzhen Skyline

Aerial views of the massive skyscrapers and dense urban grid of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Wutong Mountain

The lush green peaks of Wutong Mountain National Park standing as a natural border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

🌄

Fujian Highlands

The rugged, tea-growing mountainous terrain of interior Fujian province visible as the plane moves inland towards the airport.

🏢

Shantou Urban Area

A top-down view of the dense residential and industrial clusters of the Shantou-Jieyang metropolitan region.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the rapid urban development of the Pearl River Delta and the mountainous transition into Fujian province.
