Which side of the plane to sit from Sanya Phoenix International Airport (Sanya) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior coastal panorama, featuring the South China Sea, the bustling Pearl River Delta, and the intricate coastline of Fujian province.
Yalong Bay
Clear turquoise waters and white sandy beaches of Sanya's premier resort area during initial climb.
Pearl River Delta
Distances views of the massive urban clusters of Hong Kong and Shenzhen as the plane heads northeast.
Chaoshan Coastline
Intricate bays, islands, and port facilities around the Shantou and Chaozhou coastal regions.
Taiwan Strait
Vast ocean views featuring heavy maritime traffic and cargo ships along one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Min River Estuary
The winding river delta and wetland systems surrounding Fuzhou Changle Airport during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for coastal views. For the best photography of the Sanya coastline, a seat behind the wing is recommended. In the late afternoon, this side provides excellent lighting for the Fujian coastline without the glare of the setting sun.
Hainan Central Highlands
Dense tropical forests and mountainous terrain of the Hainan island interior shortly after takeoff.
Qiongzhou Strait
The narrow body of water separating Hainan Island from the Leizhou Peninsula of mainland China.
Nanling Mountains
The rolling green peaks and rugged topography of northern Guangdong and southern Fujian.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is better for viewing the lush, mountainous interior of southern China, especially if the flight path tracks slightly more inland over Guangdong.
