Which side of the plane to sit from Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin) to Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior visual experience, particularly during the descent into Zhuhai, where passengers are treated to panoramic views of the Hong Kong skyline, the Pearl River Delta, and the record-breaking Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.
Yellow River Crossing
Early in the flight, observe the massive, sediment-rich waters of the Yellow River winding through the North China Plain.
East China Coastline
Depending on the specific air corridor, you may catch glimpses of the rugged Fujian coastline and busy shipping lanes.
Hong Kong Skyline
During the descent, witness the dense skyscraper clusters of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon to the east.
HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
A spectacular view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Lingdingyang channel.
Macau Peninsula
As the plane aligns for landing at Jinwan, the iconic Grand Lisboa and the Cotai Strip casinos are often visible.
Wanshan Archipelago
Clear views of the numerous small green islands scattered across the South China Sea south of the estuary.
Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A' seats) for the best views of the Pearl River Delta architecture. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting for the Hong Kong skyline, while evening flights offer a stunning view of the illuminated casinos in Macau. Watch for the massive bridge infrastructure about 20 minutes before landing.
North China Plain
Vast stretches of organized agricultural land and industrial hubs across Hebei and Henan provinces.
Yangtze River Basin
Crossing the mighty Yangtze River near the Jiangxi border, often seeing heavy river traffic and large bridges.
Poyang Lake
View China's largest freshwater lake, which changes dramatically in size and shape depending on the season.
Nanling Mountains
Fly over the lush, green mountain ranges that mark the border between central China and the southern Guangdong province.
Guangzhou Suburbs
As the flight nears its destination, view the sprawling urban expansion of the Pearl River Delta's western wing.
The right side is ideal for travelers who enjoy inland geography and mountain ranges. This side is particularly beautiful during sunset flights, as the sun dips below the horizon over the inland mountains, creating a 'sea of clouds' effect. In summer, keep an eye out for towering cumulonimbus clouds common in Southern China.
