South China Sea
Expansive views of turquoise waters dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.
Wenchang Coastline
The eastern tip of Hainan, home to China's coastal satellite launch center.
HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge, appearing as a silver thread over the Pearl River Estuary.
Shenzhen Nanshan District
A dense skyline featuring the Houhai area and the landmark 'Spring Bamboo' tower.
Pearl River Estuary
One of the world's busiest waterways, filled with intense maritime traffic and industrial activity.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Shenzhen skyline perfectly during the final approach. Keep your camera ready as the plane turns over the estuary.

Sit on the left if you prefer looking at the landmass and mountains of Hainan. This side is typically shaded during afternoon flights, which reduces glare for photography. Watch for the distinctive red soil of the Leizhou Peninsula as you cross onto the mainland.
