Which side of the plane to sit from Macau International Airport (Macau) to Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (Xiamen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled vantage point of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge shortly after takeoff, followed by coastal island chains and a unique view of Kinmen Island during the final descent into Xiamen.
HZMB Bridge
A spectacular top-down view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Macau and Hong Kong.
Lantau Island
Aerial views of Hong Kong International Airport and the Big Buddha statue on a clear day.
Nan'ao Island
A prominent, scenic island near Shantou with visible wind farms and coastal roads.
Kinmen Island
During the descent into XMN, you often fly directly past this island, offering a clear view of its unique geography.
Xiamen Gold Coast
Beautiful views of the sandy beaches along Huandao Road and the Xiamen International Conference Center.
The right side is the definitive choice for landmark spotting. You must be ready immediately after takeoff to catch the HZMB bridge. On approach to Xiamen, keep your camera ready for Kinmen Island. Morning flights are recommended for the best light reflecting off the South China Sea.
Zhuhai Cityscape
Immediate views of the high-rises and urban grid of Zhuhai bordering Macau right after departure.
Pearl River Delta Hubs
Extensive industrial landscapes and the rapid urbanization of Dongguan and Huizhou to the north.
Lianhua Mountains
Rugged, lush green mountain ranges stretching across eastern Guangdong province.
Xiamen North District
View of the dense urban development and port facilities in northern Xiamen during arrival.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is ideal for observing the sheer scale of China's urban and industrial expansion along the coast.
