TSN → HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Bohai Bay coastline shortly after takeoff and the most iconic views of the Hong Kong skyline and Victoria Harbour during the final approach into HKG.
Bohai Bay Coastline
Aerial perspective of the Tianjin Port and the industrial coastline of the Bohai Sea immediately after departure.
Poyang Lake
Views of China's largest freshwater lake in Jiangxi Province, showing distinctive seasonal water level changes.
Shenzhen Skyline
A clear view of the dense skyscrapers of the Nanshan and Futian districts as the plane enters the Pearl River Delta.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge visible as a winding thread across the Lingdingyang waters.
Victoria Harbour
Unmatched views of the Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island's dense skyscraper forest during a Runway 07 arrival.
Book an A or B seat for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. When approaching HKG from the north, the left side is the prime spot to see the dense urban core of Hong Kong. Look for the 'Big Buddha' on Lantau Island just before landing if the flight path circles the airport from the south.
North China Plain
Geometric patterns of vast agricultural fields stretching across Hebei and Shandong provinces.
Mount Tai
One of the Five Great Mountains of China, often visible as a prominent peak rising from the surrounding plains.
Yangtze River Crossing
A major crossing of Asia's longest river, often spotted near the industrial hubs of Hubei or Anhui.
Nanling Mountains
Rugged, forested mountain ranges that define the border between central China and the southern Guangdong province.
Macao Peninsula
Views of the glittering Cotai Strip casinos and the unique Macao skyline if the flight approaches from the west.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Nanling Mountains. While you miss the main HK skyline, you get a better view of Macao and the outlying islands of the South China Sea. During winter, look for the 'sea of clouds' phenomenon over the southern mountains.
