HYN β ZUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Huangyan Luqiao Airport (Huangyan) to Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a continuous panoramic view of the rugged Southeast China coastline, including the intricate archipelagos of the East China Sea and the major port cities along the South China Sea.
Wenzhou Coastal Islands
View the jagged coastline and small rocky islands of southern Zhejiang shortly after departure.
Xiamen Island
Clear views of the urban landscape of Xiamen and the surrounding Kinmen islands during the cruise phase.
Nan'ao Island
A prominent large island off the coast of Shantou, often visible with its distinctive bridge connecting to the mainland.
Pearl River Delta Estuary
As you descend, watch the massive shipping lanes and the expansive waters where the Pearl River meets the sea.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
On final approach to ZUH, the world's longest sea-crossing bridge is frequently visible stretching across the water.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you for the best photography of the coastline. During the descent into Zhuhai, keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive white sails of the HZMB bridge towers. If flying during the summer, look for large turquoise patches in the sea indicating shallow reef areas.
Wuyi Mountain Foothills
The flight path skirts the eastern edges of the heavily forested and mist-shrouded Fujian mountains.
WanlΓΌ Lake
A massive deep-blue reservoir in Heyuan, Guangdong, surrounded by lush green hilly terrain.
Hakka Earth Buildings
In clear conditions over western Fujian, the unique circular Tulou structures can occasionally be spotted in the valleys.
Shenzhen Northern Suburbs
The dense urban expansion and industrial parks of the Greater Bay Area become visible as the plane nears its destination.
Sit on the right for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the ocean. This side is better for observing the rapid transition from rural mountainous terrain to one of the world's most densely populated urban corridors. Use binoculars to try and spot the circular Tulou clusters in the Fujian valleys early in the flight.
