Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Meixian Airport (Meixian)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning progression from the dense urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta to the serene, deep blue waters of Wanlv Lake and the lush green ridges of the Lianhua Mountains.
Shenzhen Urban Sprawl
A breathtaking view of the dense, vertical architecture of Shenzhen and Dongguan shortly after departure.
Wanlv Lake
Also known as the Xinfeng River Reservoir, its massive deep-green water surface is a highlight of the mid-flight segment.
Jiulian Mountains
Rugged, forest-covered mountain ridges that characterize the transition into northern Guangdong province.
SZX Terminal Architecture
A unique aerial perspective of the honeycomb-style design of Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport during initial climb.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the massive Wanlv Lake reservoir about 20 minutes into the flight.
Dapeng Peninsula Coastline
Views of the jagged coastal edge where the mountains of Shenzhen meet the South China Sea.
Daya Bay Complex
The massive scale of industrial and energy infrastructure along the coast is clearly visible from cruising altitude.
Meizhou Basin
During descent, look for the winding Mei River and the traditional Hakka village layouts in the fertile valleys.
Hakka Rural Landscapes
A patchwork of terraced fields and rolling green hills typical of the northeastern Guangdong interior.
Keep an eye out for the distinct square and circular Hakka 'Tulou' or 'Wei' houses during the final approach into Meixian. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the coastal transition near Daya Bay.
