Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning coastal perspective, featuring the scenic islands of Fujian and a premier view of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Kulangsu Island

Immediately after takeoff from XMN, view the UNESCO World Heritage site and the red-roofed colonial architecture of Xiamen's famous island.

🌊

Nanao Island

A large, emerald-shaped island off the coast of Shantou, surrounded by wind farms and turquoise waters.

✈️

Hong Kong International Airport

A clear aerial view of Chek Lap Kok and the busy flight operations of one of the world's premier aviation hubs.

🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

The world's longest sea-crossing bridge is best seen on this side as the aircraft descends into Zhuhai, stretching across the Lingdingyang waters.

🏙️

Macao Skyline

Glimpse the iconic Grand Lisboa and the Cotai Strip casinos just before touchdown at Jinwan Airport.

Book an afternoon flight to avoid the direct morning sun glare over the South China Sea. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, as it is the highlight of the trip. The descent path often tracks directly alongside the bridge's artificial islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Southern Fujian Hills

The rugged, tea-growing mountainous terrain that characterizes the landscape between Xiamen and the Guangdong border.

🏢

Shenzhen Skyline

View the dense cluster of skyscrapers in the Nanshan and Futian districts, including the massive Ping An Finance Center.

🏗️

Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link

Observe the massive ongoing construction and completed segments of the new bridge and tunnel system across the Pearl River.

🚢

Pearl River Delta Estuary

Watch the dense maritime traffic consisting of thousands of container ships and ferries navigating the world's most active manufacturing hub.

The right side is ideal for urban photography enthusiasts. Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the Shenzhen and Dongguan skylines. Look for the 'Manta Ray' shaped Terminal 3 of Shenzhen Bao'an Airport as you pass to the north of the city.
