Which side of the plane to sit from Sanya Phoenix International Airport (Sanya) to Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior coastal perspective, featuring the crossing of the Qiongzhou Strait and a spectacular aerial view of the Macau skyline and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge during the final descent.
Qiongzhou Strait
Watch the ferries and cargo ships traversing the narrow strip of water separating Hainan from the mainland.
Haikou Coastline
Clear views of the high-rise buildings and parks along the northern shore of Hainan Island.
HZMB Bridge
The magnificent 55-kilometer bridge system appearing as a thin white line over the blue estuary.
Macau Peninsula
Stunning views of the Grand Lisboa, Macau Tower, and the Cotai Strip casinos during the approach.
Wanshan Islands
Dozens of small, rugged islands scattered throughout the mouth of the Pearl River.
The right side is essential for photography enthusiasts. For the best views of the Macau skyline and the sea-crossing bridge, an afternoon flight provides the most dramatic lighting. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.
Wuzhishan Mountains
Distant views of Hainan's central tropical mountain range during the initial climb.
Zhanjiang Port
A bird's-eye view of the industrial port city and the Leizhou Peninsula's landscape.
Western Guangdong
The undulating green hills and reservoirs as the flight proceeds north over the mainland.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. It is ideal for passengers interested in the inland topography and industrial development of Southern China.
