Which side of the plane to sit from Sanya Phoenix International Airport (Sanya) to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular coastal perspective, featuring the turquoise bays of Sanya, the dense skylines of the Pearl River Delta, and the intricate island chains along the Fujian and Zhejiang coasts.
Sanya Bay and Yalong Bay
Immediate views of world-class resorts and crystal-clear turquoise waters as the plane climbs out of Hainan.
Hong Kong & Shenzhen Skyline
On clear days, the dense cluster of skyscrapers and the massive container ports of the Pearl River Delta are visible.
Xiamen and Kinmen Islands
A detailed look at the coastal geography of the Taiwan Strait, including the distinct urban layout of Xiamen island.
East China Sea Shipping Lanes
Countless cargo ships and fishing fleets dotted across the blue water near the busy ports of Ningde and Wenzhou.
Ocean Horizon
An unobstructed view of the horizon, particularly stunning during sunrise or sunset flights over the sea.
The right side is the definitive choice for coastal scenery. For the best views of the Pearl River Delta landmarks, a window seat behind the wing is recommended. During late afternoon flights, you may witness a spectacular sunset over the water as you approach Wenzhou.
Central Hainan Highlands
Aerial views of the lush, tropical rainforests and rugged mountain interior of Hainan Island shortly after takeoff.
Pearl River Delta Inland
A vast urban expanse visible in the distance, showing the sprawling connectivity between Guangzhou and Foshan.
Daiyun Mountains
The rolling green peaks of Fujian province's interior, often shrouded in a light morning mist.
Oujiang River Valley
The winding path of the Oujiang River as it approaches the Wenzhou basin during the descent phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It is also the better side for viewing the mountainous terrain of the mainland if the flight path tracks slightly further inland due to weather.
