SZX → HSN
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Zhoushan Airport (Zhoushan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular coastal perspective, featuring the Taiwan Strait, various port cities, and a breathtaking approach over the hundreds of islands that make up the Zhoushan archipelago.
Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the shimmering blue waters and the busy maritime shipping lanes along the coast.
Xiamen Coastline
A glimpse of the scenic coastal roads and the cluster of islands near the Xiamen Special Economic Zone.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port
One of the world's busiest ports, visible with hundreds of cargo ships and massive container terminals.
Zhoushan Sea-Crossing Bridges
Stunning views of the engineering marvels connecting the islands as the plane descends into HSN.
The right side is the definitive choice for scenic seekers. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, the plane maneuvers over the Zhoushan islands; look for the distinct emerald water and rocky outcrops. For the best photography, an afternoon flight provides excellent lighting on the islands, though you should be prepared for some sun glare during the cruise phase.
Shenzhen Skyline
Aerial view of the dense urban sprawl and skyscrapers of Bao'an and Nanshan districts immediately after takeoff.
Wuyi Mountain Range
Dramatic views of the rugged, greenery-covered peaks and tea-growing regions of Fujian province.
Min River Basin
The winding path of the Min River as it flows through the valleys toward Fuzhou.
Wenzhou Urban Area
A clear view of the sprawling industrial and residential landscape of southern Zhejiang.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is ideal for passengers interested in the topographical transition from the Pearl River Delta to the mountainous interior of Fujian and Zhejiang. Keep an eye out for the intricate river networks that define the landscape of eastern China.
