Which side of the plane to sit from Sanya Phoenix International Airport (Sanya) to Liuzhou Bailian Airport (Liuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the Gulf of Tonkin (Beibu Gulf) and the dramatic transition from the South China Sea into the iconic karst mountain landscapes of Guangxi.
Sanya Bay Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and luxury resorts along the Sanya coast immediately after takeoff.
Hainan Highlands
Aerial perspective of the rugged, forested interior mountains of Hainan Island as the plane heads north.
Gulf of Tonkin
Expansive views of the Beibu Gulf with fishing fleets visible on clear days near the Leizhou Peninsula.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
The famous 'forest of peaks' limestone formations that characterize the landscape approaching Liuzhou.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct glare while capturing the vibrant blues of the South China Sea. During descent into Liuzhou, keep your camera ready for the dramatic limestone pillars that emerge through the clouds, especially during the humid summer months.
Haikou Cityscape
A view of Hainan's capital city and the impressive bridge infrastructure crossing the Qiongzhou Strait.
Leizhou Agriculture
The geometric patterns of red-soil farms and plantations on the southern tip of mainland China.
Liu River Bend
The winding Liu River which encircles the central business district of Liuzhou in a distinctive U-shape.
Cloud Seas
Frequent low-altitude cloud formations over the humid valleys of eastern Guangxi province.
Sit on the right for a better chance to see the city of Liuzhou during the final approach. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the light reflects off the winding Liu River and the city's modern skyline.
