SIN β CSX
Which side of the plane to sit from Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore) to Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the dense urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta (Hong Kong/Shenzhen/Macau) and the unique UNESCO-listed Danxia landforms in northern Guangdong.
Changi Coastline
Beautiful views of Singapore's eastern beaches and the massive fleet of ships anchored in the strait.
Hainan Island
Views of the eastern coastline of China's tropical island, including its resort-lined beaches.
Pearl River Delta
On clear days, see the incredible density of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the skylines of Shenzhen.
Mount Danxia
Stunning red sandstone cliffs and unique rock formations of the UNESCO World Heritage site in northern Guangdong.
Xiang River
Follow the winding course of the great Xiang River as the aircraft aligns for its final approach into Changsha.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly spectacular during midday flights when the sun is high, illuminating the vibrant red colors of the Danxia mountains and the blue hues of the South China Sea.
Johor Strait
Clear views of the international boundary between Singapore and Malaysia immediately after takeoff.
Gulf of Tonkin
Expansive views of the shimmering blue waters as the plane approaches the southern coast of China.
Leizhou Peninsula
The southernmost tip of mainland China, characterized by red soil and agricultural patchworks.
Guangxi Mountains
Distant glimpses of the iconic limestone karst formations that define southern China's topography.
Sit on the left if you are on a late afternoon flight to catch the sunset over the South China Sea. During the descent into Changsha, keep an eye out for the western reaches of the Xiang River and the Yuelu Mountain range.
