Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Lianyungang Airport (Lianyungang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the East China Sea coastline, the massive Yangtze River Delta, and the expansive maritime activity near Lianyungang's major port during the approach.
Dapeng Bay
The beautiful contrast between the blue waters of the South China Sea and the rugged coastline of eastern Hong Kong.
Taiwan Strait
Extensive views of the busy maritime shipping lanes and the horizon stretching toward the Pacific Ocean.
Yangtze River Mouth
The spectacular sight of the wide brown river meeting the blue sea, often featuring the massive bridges connecting the delta.
Lianyungang Port
A bird's-eye view of one of China's most significant shipping hubs and its massive breakwaters during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It provides the best perspective of the coastline and the massive urban clusters of the Yangtze Delta. Watch for the 'divided' water colors where the Yangtze silt flows into the Yellow Sea.
Shenzhen Skyline
A clear view of the dense skyscrapers and urban sprawl of the Greater Bay Area shortly after takeoff from HKG.
Wuyi Mountain Range
Dramatic views of the jagged, misty peaks and lush greenery of this UNESCO World Heritage site as you pass northern Fujian.
Poyang Lake
Distant views of China's largest freshwater lake, which changes size significantly between dry and wet seasons.
Jianghuai Plain
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and canals typical of central China's grain-producing heartland.
Sit on the left for better views of the inland mountain ranges and the sun setting over the continent on afternoon flights. Avoid sitting directly over the wing to ensure visibility of the terrain relief in Jiangxi and Anhui provinces.
