Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a spectacular perspective of the southeastern Chinese coastline, showcasing the transition from the South China Sea to the East China Sea with numerous islands, busy ports, and dramatic estuaries.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Dapeng Peninsula

Stunning views of the rocky coastline, turquoise bays, and the Daya Bay area east of Shenzhen.

🚢

Fujian Coastline

Intricate estuaries and massive maritime traffic near the historic port cities of Quanzhou and Fuzhou.

🏝️

Zhejiang Archipelago

A breathtaking cluster of small islands and emerald waters as the flight approaches Ningbo.

⚓

Beilun Port

One of the world's busiest deep-water ports, featuring miles of container terminals and massive cargo ships.

🛶

Aquaculture Farms

Geometric patterns of seaweed and shellfish farms visible in the shallow waters along the East China Sea coast.

The right side is superior for coastal enthusiasts. Morning flights offer the best lighting without sun glare on the windows. Keep an eye out for the dramatic change in water color from the sediment-heavy river mouths to the deep blue of the open sea. During the descent, the island formations near the Zhoushan area are particularly scenic.

🏙️

Pearl River Delta

Dense urban clusters of Dongguan and Huizhou visible shortly after takeoff from Shenzhen.

⛰️

Lianhua Mountains

Rugged mountain ridges and deep green forests as the plane moves into northeastern Guangdong.

🌄

Fujian Highlands

Misty peaks and terraced valleys of the Wuyi mountain range foothills during the mid-flight segment.

🌆

Ningbo Cityscape

A detailed view of the Ningbo urban center and the convergence of the Yong, Yuyao, and Fenghua rivers on descent.

Opt for the left side on evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the inland mountain ranges. This side provides a better view of the inland geography and the dense urbanization of the Yangtze River Delta's southern edge during the final approach.
