Which side of the plane to sit from Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Pearl River Delta's transition from river to sea, featuring the iconic Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Macau skyline during the descent.
Xi River Bends
Watch the winding path of the West River (Xi Jiang) as it snakes through the Guangdong countryside toward the delta.
HZMB Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge is clearly visible, spanning the water between Zhuhai, Macau, and Hong Kong.
Macau Skyline
The dense cluster of luxury hotels and casinos on the Cotai Strip and Macau Peninsula is a highlight during descent.
Big Buddha
On final approach to Runway 07, the Tian Tan Buddha statue on Lantau Island can be seen nestled in the mountains.
Soko Islands
Small, uninhabited islands in the South China Sea providing a stark contrast to the nearby urban density.
The right side is prime for capturing the engineering marvel of the HZMB bridge. For the best photography, choose a flight arriving in the late afternoon for soft lighting over the water. Be aware that hazy conditions in the Delta can sometimes obscure distant views.
Guangxi Karst Hills
The early phase of the flight reveals the unique rolling green hills and limestone formations typical of eastern Guangxi.
Shenzhen Skyline
As the plane enters the Pearl River Delta, look for the massive skyscrapers of Shenzhen, including the Ping An Finance Centre.
Nanshan Port
Vibrant views of one of the world's busiest container terminals with hundreds of colored cranes and ships.
Pearl River Mouth
The widening estuary where the Pearl River meets the South China Sea, often busy with high-speed ferries.
Sit on the left if you want to see the rapid urbanization of the Greater Bay Area. Morning flights are better for the left side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. If landing on Runway 25, you may see the northern New Territories of Hong Kong.
