HKG → WNZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a stunning continuous view of the southeastern Chinese coastline, including the architectural marvels of Xiamen, the intricate Fujian archipelago, and the vast East China Sea, whereas the left side focuses more on rugged inland mountainous terrain.
Yantian Port
One of the world's busiest container terminals visible shortly after departing HKG.
Dapeng Peninsula
Clear turquoise waters and white sandy beaches on the eastern edge of Shenzhen.
Xiamen Island
An iconic view of Xiamen city, including the famous Gulangyu Island and coastal bridges.
Meizhou Bay
A complex coastline filled with small islands, aquaculture farms, and industrial docks.
Taiwan Strait
Vast ocean views with numerous cargo ships and fishing vessels dotting the horizon.
Wenzhou Archipelago
The final approach provides a spectacular view of the Dongtou Islands and the Oujiang River estuary.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west, perfectly lighting up the Xiamen skyline and the coastal cliffs of Fujian. Keep an eye out for the massive offshore wind farms recently constructed along the coast.
Pearl River Delta Sprawl
Dense urban landscape of northern Shenzhen and Dongguan shortly after takeoff.
Lianhua Mountain Range
Aerial views of the lush, green mountain peaks in eastern Guangdong province.
Fujian River Valleys
The winding paths of the Jiulong and Min Rivers cutting through deep mountain valleys.
Southern Zhejiang Mountains
Dramatic, jagged peaks as the plane descends into the mountainous Wenzhou region.
Rural Fujian Clusters
Traditional village settlements and agricultural terracing visible in clear weather.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking at rugged terrain and inland river systems. This side is particularly scenic during the morning as the sun illuminates the mountain slopes from the east, highlighting the topography of the Fujian-Zhejiang border.
