Which side of the plane to sit from Lingling Airport (Yongzhou) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Pearl River Estuary, the engineering marvels of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, and the dramatic coastline near Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport.
Lianzhou Karst Peaks
Unique limestone formations and winding rivers in the northern Guangdong mountain region.
Guangzhou Nansha Port
The vast scale of one of the world's busiest container ports and its massive shipping infrastructure.
Pearl River Estuary
The dramatic meeting of the Pearl River and the South China Sea, featuring distinct water color changes.
HZMB Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, visible stretching across the horizon.
SZX Terminal 3
A top-down view of the airport's iconic honeycomb-designed terminal just before touching down.
The right side is unbeatable for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the estuary. During the final approach to SZX, the plane often maneuvers over the water, providing a perfect angle to see the massive bridges and the Shenzhen coastline. Look for the large cargo ships entering the Pearl River.
Yongzhou Urban View
A clear view of the Xiang River and the growing urban center of Yongzhou immediately after takeoff.
Eastern Nanling Mountains
Dense forest-covered peaks and mist-filled valleys along the border of Hunan and Guangdong provinces.
Dongguan Megacity
The massive, interconnected industrial and residential sprawl that characterizes the eastern Pearl River Delta.
Shenzhen Skyline
Distant views of the Ping An Finance Center and the high-rise clusters of Futian and Nanshan during descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is better for spotting the transition from the rugged mountain terrain into the dense urban grid of the Pearl River Delta. Keep your camera ready as you pass over Shaoguan for potential sightings of reddish Danxia landforms in the distance.
