SZX β HAK
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Haikou Meilan International Airport (Haikou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a continuous panorama of the southern Chinese coastline, the distinctive Leizhou Peninsula, and the dramatic crossing of the Qiongzhou Strait into Hainan.
Pearl River Delta Cities
Aerial views of the dense urban landscapes of Zhongshan and Jiangmen during the climb.
Coastal Aquaculture
Intricate patterns of fish ponds and shrimp farms along the western Guangdong coastline.
Leizhou Peninsula
The southernmost tip of mainland China, featuring red soil and vast agricultural fields.
Qiongzhou Strait
The narrow 30km body of water separating the mainland from the tropical island of Hainan.
Haikou Urban Sprawl
A clear view of Haikou's developing skyline and the Nandu River before touchdown.
This side is superior for geography enthusiasts. On afternoon flights, you'll get a spectacular view of the sun setting over the Gulf of Tonkin. Aim for a seat in front of or well behind the wing to see the Leizhou Peninsula clearly.
HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
A distant view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge shortly after departure.
South China Sea
Expansive views of the open ocean and major international shipping lanes.
Wanshan Archipelago
Clusters of small, green islands scattered across the blue waters of the estuary.
Hainan East Coast
The lush, tropical shoreline of Haikou appearing as the plane descends from the east.
Choose this side for early morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the South China Sea. It offers a more serene, maritime-focused view, especially during the middle segment of the short flight.
