Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Chinese coastline, including the rugged mountains of Fujian and the dense, modern skylines of Xiamen, Shantou, and Shenzhen, followed by the Pearl River Delta during descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Yandang Mountains

The sharp, jagged peaks of this UNESCO Global Geopark visible shortly after departure from Wenzhou.

🏢

Xiamen Skyline

A clear view of the modern Yanwu Bridge and the lush greenery of Gulangyu Island.

🏗️

Shantou Coastal Zone

The dense urban landscape and busy ports of the Han River delta area.

🌆

Shenzhen Tech Hub

The massive skyline of Shenzhen, featuring the tall Ping An Finance Centre, just before entering Hong Kong airspace.

🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

The world's longest sea-crossing bridge is clearly visible stretching across the Pearl River estuary during descent.

The right side is the 'urban' side of the flight. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the transition from the Fujian mountains to the Pearl River Delta. Afternoon flights on this side offer dramatic golden hour lighting over the mainland mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Wenzhou Bay

The expansive Oujiang River estuary meeting the East China Sea right after takeoff.

🏝️

Matsu Islands

Strategic island clusters visible off the coast of Fuzhou as the flight heads south.

⛴️

Kinmen Island

Clear views of the outlying island and its surrounding turquoise waters near Xiamen.

🏙️

Hong Kong Island

Panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and the South Peak if the approach path enters from the east.

🌅

East China Sea Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the ocean horizon, particularly stunning during morning flights.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while enjoying the sea view. During the final approach into HKG, if the flight path circles the southern islands, the left side provides the best view of the Lamma and Cheung Chau islands.
