Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes of takeoff for the iconic Sanya coastal shots. During the descent, watch for the distinct transition from the mountainous South to the flat, water-intersected plains of the Yangtze Delta.

Morning flights are ideal for the right side to catch the sunrise over the South China Sea.

The right side typically gets a clearer view of the airport terminal upon landing.
