MXZ โ†’ ZUH

Which side of the plane to sit from Meixian Airport (Meixian) to Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai)?

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most scenic transition from the mountainous Hakka heartland to the expansive Pearl River Estuary, featuring coastal views and the iconic Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Northeast Guangdong Mountains

View the rugged, lush green peaks surrounding Meixian shortly after takeoff.

๐ŸŒŠ

Daya Bay Coastline

Distant views of the winding coastline and nuclear power infrastructure near Huizhou.

๐ŸŒ‰

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

The world's longest sea-crossing bridge is clearly visible stretching across the estuary during the descent.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Estuary Islands

A cluster of islands like Wailingding and Guishan dotting the South China Sea.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Macau Skyline

Catch glimpses of the Macau Tower and the Cotai Strip casinos as you enter the Zhuhai airspace.

Book a seat on the left side (Port) for the best views of the maritime traffic and the mega-bridge. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, which illuminates the blue waters of the Pearl River Estuary perfectly. During the final approach to ZUH, the bridge structure is a major highlight.
