Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the East China Sea coastline, several major Chinese port cities, and a scenic approach into Da Nang over the Son Tra Peninsula.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Zhejiang Archipelago

Immediately after takeoff, view the intricate network of islands and coastal mudflats near Wenzhou.

🏙️

Fujian Coastline

Clear views of Quanzhou and Xiamen bays, highlighting the dense urban development along the Taiwan Strait.

🏝️

Hainan East Coast

Vistas of the tropical eastern shores of Hainan Island and the turquoise waters of the South China Sea.

⛰️

Son Tra Peninsula

The 'Monkey Mountain' provides a lush green landmark as the plane descends into Da Nang.

🏖️

My Khe Beach

A stunning aerial perspective of Da Nang's long white sand coastline just before touchdown.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the descent into DAD, as the flight path often circles the peninsula, offering views of the Linh Ung Pagoda and the giant Lady Buddha statue.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Yandang Mountains

Rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges of southern Zhejiang visible shortly after departure.

🏭

Pearl River Delta

Inland views of the massive industrial and urban sprawl of the Guangdong region.

🚛

Leizhou Peninsula

The southernmost tip of mainland China, showing agricultural patterns and red soil.

🌄

Annamite Range

The dramatic Truong Son mountains of Vietnam appearing on the horizon during the final approach.

The right side is best for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Vietnamese highlands. It offers a better view of the city of Da Nang itself if the plane approaches from the north over the land. Keep an eye out for the Han River bridges as you near the airport.
