Which side of the plane to sit from Macau International Airport (Macau) to Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Pearl River Delta's complex coastline during departure and provides a more direct perspective of the Yellow River as the flight approaches Zhengzhou.
Zhuhai Coastline
Immediate views of the Zhuhai Opera House and the modern coastal developments of the Special Economic Zone after takeoff.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged, forested peaks that form the natural border between Guangdong and the central provinces.
Wuhan Urban Cluster
A view of the sprawling metropolis of Wuhan and its numerous bridges crossing the Yangtze and Han rivers.
Central Plains Agriculture
The vast, geometric patchworks of the North China Plain, changing colors with the seasonal crop cycles.
Yellow River
The iconic silty waters of the Yellow River winding through the landscape just north of Zhengzhou during the descent.
Choose a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for the best views of the Pearl River Delta. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun, allowing for better photography of the Nanling Mountains and the Yangtze River crossing.
Pearl River Hub
The dense industrial and residential sprawl of Dongguan and the Shenzhen outskirts during the initial climb.
Poyang Lake Basin
Distant views of China's largest freshwater lake and the surrounding wetlands in northern Jiangxi.
Yangtze Shipping Lanes
High-altitude views of the world's busiest inland waterway with visible cargo ship traffic near Jiujiang.
Mount Song
The majestic peaks of one of the Five Sacred Mountains of China, located southwest of the flight path near Zhengzhou.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the 'Golden Hour' light reflecting off the various lakes and rivers of Central China. Keep an eye out for the rapid urbanization of the inland provincial capitals.
