TXN → HAK
Which side of the plane to sit from Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan) to Haikou Meilan International Airport (Haikou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of China's iconic geography, including the immediate peaks of Huangshan upon departure and the vast expanse of Poyang Lake.
Huangshan Massif
Dramatic granite peaks and ancient pine forests of the Yellow Mountain range shortly after departure.
Poyang Lake
The massive expanse of China's largest freshwater lake, showing seasonal water level variations.
Lu Mountain
The mist-covered peaks of Lushan National Park rising above the Jiangxi plains.
Leizhou Peninsula
The distinctive red soil and structured agricultural patches of the southernmost tip of mainland China.
Qiongzhou Strait
The narrow blue channel separating the mainland from Hainan, often dotted with cargo ships and ferries.
The right side is essential for seeing Poyang Lake and the Leizhou Peninsula. In late afternoon, you may experience glare, so aim for a midday flight for high-contrast views of the geological features and the strait crossing.
Anhui Highlands
Rolling green hills and tea plantations of southern Anhui immediately after takeoff.
Ganzhou Urban Area
A clear view of the sprawling city of Ganzhou and the confluence of the Gan River.
Pearl River Delta Fringes
Distal views of the dense urban corridors and waterways of eastern Guangdong.
Hainan Coastline
The turquoise waters and sandy beaches of the northern Hainan coast during the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Gan River. It also provides a great perspective of the coastline when the flight enters the HAK approach pattern from the east.
