SYX β NGB
Which side of the plane to sit from Sanya Phoenix International Airport (Sanya) to Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior mix of iconic cultural landmarks immediately after takeoff from Sanya and scenic mountain views throughout the Fujian-Zhejiang corridor.
Nanshan Guan Yin
The massive 108-meter bronze statue is often visible during the initial climb out of Sanya.
Wuzhi Mountain Range
View the lush, cloud-shrouded peaks of central Hainan Island shortly after takeoff.
Pearl River Delta
Distant views of the massive urban sprawl encompassing Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
Fujian Highlands
The rugged, tea-rich mountain terrain of Fujian province during the mid-flight cruise.
Ningbo Cityscape
Aerial perspective of the destination's rapid urban development and river systems during descent.
Book a window seat on the left for the best view of the Nanshan Guan Yin statue shortly after departure. In the afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so keep your window shade ready for glare. Look for the transition from tropical rainforests to the mist-covered mountains of Fujian.
Yalong Bay
Beautiful turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Sanya's eastern coast.
South China Sea
Vast expanses of ocean with numerous cargo ships navigating international shipping lanes.
Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the maritime corridor between mainland China and Taiwan.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A stunning cluster of hundreds of islands visible during the final approach phase.
Hangzhou Bay
The coastal interface where the East China Sea meets the Zhejiang shoreline.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the South China Sea. During descent into Ningbo, watch for the numerous small islands of the Zhoushan Archipelago. This side generally provides more stable, expansive oceanic horizons and less land-based detail.
