WUXMFM

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Chinese coastline, the sparkling East China Sea, and a stunning aerial perspective of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Hangzhou Bay Bridge

Shortly after departure, look for one of the world's longest trans-oceanic bridges spanning the vast Hangzhou Bay.

🌊

Zhejiang Coastline

A beautiful sequence of jagged peninsulas and the scattered islands of the Zhoushan Archipelago.

🏙️

Xiamen and Kinmen

Clear views of Xiamen Island and the nearby Kinmen Islands as the flight path parallels the Fujian coast.

🛳️

South China Sea Traffic

Heavy maritime traffic including container ships and fishing fleets congregating near the Pearl River Estuary.

🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

The iconic Y-shaped mega-bridge structure is most prominent on this side during the approach into Macau.

Sit on the left for the best sunrise views if taking an early morning flight. During the approach to MFM, keep your camera ready for the massive bridge infrastructure. Avoid seats directly over the wing (typically rows 15-25 on A320/B737) to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Lake Taihu

Immediately after takeoff from WUX, the vast expanse of China's third-largest freshwater lake is visible to the west.

⛰️

Zhejiang & Fujian Highlands

Rugged, green mountain ranges and deep valleys characterizing the interior of Southeastern China.

🌲

Wuyi Mountains

The distant peaks of the UNESCO-listed Wuyi range may be visible depending on the specific air corridor and clarity.

🏙️

Guangdong Urban Sprawl

As you descend, witness the immense scale of the Pearl River Delta's interconnected cities like Dongguan and Shenzhen.

✈️

Macau Peninsula

On specific landing patterns (Runway 34), you get a close-up view of the dense Macau skyline and the Grand Lisboa.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers better views of the mountainous terrain of the interior. If the flight lands from the south (Runway 34), the right side provides a dramatic view of the Macau tower and the historic peninsula.
