Which side of the plane to sit from Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou) to Haikou Meilan International Airport (Haikou)?

Zhejiang Coastline
Aerial views of the jagged, island-dotted coastline of southern Zhejiang immediately after departure from WNZ.
Xiamen and Quanzhou
Clear views of the dense urban clusters and harbor bridges of Xiamen Island and the surrounding Fujian coast.
Greater Bay Area
Spectacular views of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the glittering skylines of Shenzhen and Hong Kong on the horizon.
Wanshan Archipelago
Dozens of small, emerald-green islands scattered across the turquoise waters of the South China Sea.
Haikou Approach
A sweeping view of the Haikou city skyline and the northern Hainan coastline as the plane banks for landing.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while enjoying the coastal glare on the water. This side is particularly impressive during night flights when passing the Pearl River Delta, as the lights of Hong Kong and Shenzhen are highly visible. During the summer, look for convective cloud formations over the warm South China Sea.

Beijiang River Basin
The winding river systems and fertile agricultural valleys of northern and central Guangdong province.

The distinct red-soil landscape and pineapple plantations of China's southernmost mainland peninsula.
Qiongzhou Strait

The right side is best for sunset flights, as you can watch the sun dip below the mainland horizon. It offers a more terrestrial perspective of China's interior geography. Keep an eye out for the Leizhou Peninsula—it's a unique geographical 'finger' pointing toward Hainan that is best viewed from this side during the descent.
