XUZ → HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally superior for this route because it offers the most iconic views of the Hong Kong skyline and Victoria Harbour during the standard approach into HKG, along with better views of the Jiangxi mountain ranges.

Yangtze River Crossing
Shortly after takeoff, witness the massive scale of the Yangtze River as it winds through the Jiangsu and Anhui provinces.
Lushan National Park
Aerial views of the misty peaks and rugged terrain of Jiangxi's most famous mountain range.
Nanchang Urban Area
Passage over the capital of Jiangxi, showing the dense development along the Gan River.
Nanling Mountains
The dramatic border crossing between Jiangxi and Guangdong marked by lush, green subtropical ridges.
Kowloon & Victoria Harbour
On a typical Runway 25 approach, this side provides a breathtaking view of the world-famous Hong Kong skyline.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. An early morning flight (08:00-10:00) provides excellent soft lighting for photos of the Jiangxi mountains and the final descent into the Pearl River Delta. If landing at night, the left side offers an unparalleled view of Hong Kong's neon-lit skyscrapers.

The massive industrial and urban sprawl of Dongguan and Guangzhou as you enter the Greater Bay Area.
HZMB Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao is clearly visible during descent.
Lingdingyang Bay

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. It offers a more technical view of the region's infrastructure, specifically the massive bridge network and the industrial heart of the Delta. During winter months, this side often sees clearer skies when the northern monsoons push smog away from the coast.
