Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the massive Pearl River Delta urbanization, the stunning Shenzhen skyline, and the iconic Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during the final descent into HKG.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Anhui Basins

Vibrant agricultural plains and the growing urban center of Hefei visible during the first half of the trip.

🏔️

Nanling Mountains

The dramatic, rugged terrain of the 'Southern Range' marking the geographical border into Guangdong.

🏭

Pearl River Delta

An incredible look at the dense urban industrial heartland of southern China as you approach the coast.

🏢

Shenzhen Skyline

A clear view of the Ping An Finance Centre and the skyscrapers of Nanshan District during the descent.

🌉

HKZM Bridge

The spectacular 55km Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge stretching across the Lingdingyang channel.

Book the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The final 15 minutes of the flight are the most critical; keep your camera ready for the engineering marvel of the HKZM Bridge and the dense Shenzhen-Hong Kong border area.

🌊

Yellow Sea Coastline

Aerial views of the Lianyungang coastline and the Yellow Sea immediately after departure.

🛶

Yangtze River Crossing

A view of the world's third-longest river as the flight path cuts across the border of Jiangsu and Anhui.

🏞️

Poyang Lake

China's largest freshwater lake in Jiangxi Province, visible as a vast blue expanse amidst green hills.

⛰️

Lushan National Park

The peaks of the famous Mount Lu, often shrouded in misty clouds, appearing to the east.

🏙️

Dapeng Peninsula

The rugged eastern coastline of Shenzhen and the emerald waters of Mirs Bay on final approach.

Sit on the left if you want to see the sunrise over the sea on early morning flights. This side is also excellent for spotting the natural landscape of Jiangxi's lake regions before entering the dense urban zones of Guangdong.
