Which side of the plane to sit from Zhanjiang Airport (Zhanjiang) to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is preferred for its superior views of the iconic Chongqing skyline and the dramatic confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers during the final approach, alongside a great view of Zhanjiang Harbor after takeoff.
Zhanjiang Bay
Spectacular views of the harbor, the Bay Bridge, and naval vessels shortly after departure.
Yangtze River Meanders
Watch the mighty Yangtze River wind through the deep gorges and mountainous terrain of southern Chongqing.
Chongqing Cityscape
Incredible views of the 'Mountain City' with its dense clusters of skyscrapers and massive bridges.
River Confluence
Spot where the brownish Yangtze and the greener Jialing rivers meet at Chaotianmen Pier during descent.
Request a seat on the right for the most iconic arrival experience in China. If arriving at night, the city lights of Chongqing are a world-class sight. Be sure to look out about 15 minutes before landing to see the river systems.
Leizhou Peninsula Coast
Aerial view of the intricate coastline, aquaculture farms, and salt pans near Zhanjiang.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
The unique 'sugarloaf' limestone mountains of the Guangxi region appearing as the flight moves inland.
Guizhou Plateau
Mist-shrouded green ridges and deep valleys characteristic of the high-altitude Guizhou landscape.
Sichuan Basin Outskirts
Traditional terraced farming and dense rural clusters as the plane enters the Sichuan Basin.
Sit on the left if you enjoy watching the terrain transition from tropical coast to rugged mountains. In the afternoon, this side provides better lighting for photos of the Guizhou mountain ridges without direct sun glare.
