Which side of the plane to sit from Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (Quanzhou) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a panoramic view of the rugged Guangdong coastline, major industrial hubs, and the iconic bridges of Hong Kong during the final approach.
Shantou Skyline
A clear view of the urban sprawl of Shantou and the mouth of the Rong River shortly after departure.
Daya Bay
The site of a major nuclear power plant and a complex, indented coastline with turquoise waters.
Tsing Ma Bridge
One of the world's longest suspension bridges, connecting Lantau Island to the rest of Hong Kong.
Lantau North Country Park
Dramatic views of the mountainous terrain of Lantau Island, often shrouded in misty clouds.
HZMB Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge, stretching across the Pearl River estuary toward Macau.
The right side is the 'urban side.' To see the famous bridges and the Shenzhen skyline in the distance, this is your best bet. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline and the dense skyscrapers of the New Territories.
South China Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue waters and major international shipping lanes heading toward the Pearl River Delta.
Nan'ao Island
A large island near Shantou featuring a long cross-sea bridge and rows of wind turbines along the ridges.
Hong Kong Island South
During specific patterns, catch glimpses of the white sands of Repulse Bay and the lush greenery of the Peak.
Lamma Island
The distinctive three chimneys of the Lamma Power Station are visible just before the final touchdown.
Choose the left side for a more peaceful, maritime view. It is particularly scenic during late afternoon flights when the sun reflects off the sea. If the flight path takes a southerly route around the city, this side offers the best views of the outlying islands like Po Toi.
