HKG β MXZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Meixian Airport (Meixian)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of Hong Kong's rugged coastal islands, the dramatic Daya Bay coastline, and the lush, terraced mountains of the Hakka heartland during descent.
Sai Kung Peninsula
Breathtaking views of Hong Kong's 'Back Garden' with its volcanic rock formations and white sand beaches.
Daya Bay
The sweeping curves of the coastline featuring clear blue waters and the prominent nuclear power infrastructure.
Eastern Guangdong Ranges
Dramatic, undulating green mountain ridges that define the geography of the Meizhou region.
Meizhou Valleys
As the plane descends, look for traditional Hakka architecture and terraced agricultural fields.
Select the right side for the most scenic natural views, especially during morning flights when the sun illuminates the coastline. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from HKG for the best shots of the Sai Kung islands. During autumn and winter, the air is often clearer, providing better visibility of the distant mountain peaks.
Shenzhen Skyline
A close-up view of the massive skyscrapers in the Futian and Nanshan districts as you head north.
Shenzhen Bay Bridge
The impressive long-span bridge connecting the New Territories of Hong Kong to mainland China.
WanlΓΌ Lake
A vast turquoise reservoir in Heyuan, often visible as a shimmering sapphire amidst the green hills.
Dongguan Urban Grid
The dense industrial and residential layout that characterizes the heart of the Pearl River Delta.
The left side is ideal for night flights to witness the spectacular light displays of the Shenzhen and Dongguan urban corridors. During the day, sit here if you are interested in the sheer scale of China's urban development.
