Which side of the plane to sit from Macau International Airport (Macau) to Taoxian Airport (Shenyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Greater Bay Area departure, including the world's longest sea-bridge, and captures the transition from the East China Sea coastline to the Liaodong Peninsula.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
Stunning aerial perspective of the mega-structure stretching across the Lingdingyang waters shortly after takeoff.
Shanghai & Yangtze Delta
Distant views of the massive urban sprawl and the mouth of the Yangtze River meeting the East China Sea.
Bohai Sea Crossing
The flight path often crosses the Bohai Bay, offering views of distant offshore oil rigs and cargo ships.
Liaodong Peninsula
The rugged coastline of Dalian and the surrounding islands as the aircraft begins its descent into the northeast.
Shenyang Plains
The Hun River and the industrial architecture of Shenyang as the plane aligns for its final approach.
The right side is essential for the iconic Macau/Hong Kong departure views. For a night flight, this side captures the brilliant lights of the coastal cities. During the descent into Shenyang, keep your camera ready for the coastline transition which is often more dramatic than the inland approach on the left.
Pearl River Delta Urban Hubs
Dense urban clusters of Foshan and northern Guangzhou as you climb away from the coast.
Nanling Mountains
Dramatic green peaks and ridges forming the natural border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.
Poyang Lake
Views of China's largest freshwater lake, showcasing a seasonal patchwork of wetlands and water.
North China Plain
A vast, flat expanse of agricultural land divided into a unique geometric grid pattern.
Mount Tai
The sacred mountain of Shandong, rising abruptly from the surrounding plains if the flight path tracks inland.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is better for viewing inland geographic features and the massive industrial scale of the North China Plain. During winter, look for the sharp transition from green southern forests to the brown/grey northern landscapes.
