TNA â HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is preferred for its immediate views of the sacred Mount Tai after departure and the sprawling Pearl River Delta and Lantau Island landscapes during the final approach into Hong Kong.

Mount Tai
A UNESCO World Heritage site and one of China's most significant sacred mountains, visible shortly after departure.
Yangtze River Crossing
A majestic view of the winding Yangtze River as the flight path crosses central China near Wuhan.
Dabie Mountains
Rugged, green mountainous terrain stretching across the borders of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui.
Guangzhou Megacity
The massive urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta, including the Canton Tower in the distance.
Lantau Island
Clear views of the Big Buddha statue, the mountainous terrain of Lantau, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Pearl River Delta. Keep your window shade open roughly 10-15 minutes after takeoff to spot Mount Tai. During landing, this side provides the best view of the engineering marvel that is the world's longest sea-crossing bridge.
