Which side of the plane to sit from Ganzhou Airport (Ganzhou) to Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a premier view of the Pearl River Estuary and the engineering marvel of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge during the final descent into Zhuhai.
Ganzhou Urban Area
Aerial view of Ganzhou city and the intersection of the Gan and Zhang rivers shortly after takeoff.
Jiulian Mountains
Rugged, forest-covered peaks along the border of Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces.
Pearl River Estuary
The expansive waters where the Pearl River meets the South China Sea, filled with cargo ships.
HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
Clear view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Lingdingyang channel.
Macau Skyline
The dense cluster of luxury hotels and the Macau Tower as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
For the most dramatic arrival, sit on the left (A seats). The approach often follows the coastline, providing an iconic view of the Macau skyline and the bridge. Late afternoon flights are ideal, as the sun will be in the west, illuminating the Pearl River Estuary with a golden glow without causing glare on your window.
Gan River Valley
Winding river paths and agricultural plains heading south from Ganzhou.
Nanling Karst Peaks
Dramatic limestone formations and deep valleys near Shaoguan in Northern Guangdong.
Guangzhou-Foshan Sprawl
The massive, interconnected urban landscape of the western Pearl River Delta.
Shunde Waterways
Intricate network of canals and fish ponds characteristic of the traditional PRD landscape.
Zhuhai West Coast
The developing industrial zones and coastal parks of the Jinwan District.
The right side (F seats) is best for observing the transition from the mountainous terrain of Northern Guangdong to the dense urban sprawl of the delta. It is the preferred side for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct karst mountains halfway through the flight.
