Which side of the plane to sit from Zhanjiang Airport (Zhanjiang) to Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the iconic Xiang River and the majestic Mount Heng, especially during the descent into Changsha.
Zhanjiang Bay
Panoramic views of the urban coastline and the large naval port during the initial climb.
Mount Heng (Nanyue)
One of China's five sacred mountains, visible as a prominent peak mid-flight in southern Hunan.
Changsha Skyline
Excellent visibility of the city's high-rise core and the famous Orange Isle in the river center.
Xiang River
The winding artery of Hunan province, reflecting sunlight beautifully as you approach the airport.
Book an 'A' seat for the best panoramic views. On clear days, Mount Heng is the geographic highlight. For evening flights, this side catches the sunset over the Hunanese landscape, though glare can be intense.
Maoming Coastline
Views of the South China Sea and the coastal industrial development during the ascent.
Nanling Mountains
Deep green forested ridges that define the natural border between Guangdong and Hunan provinces.
Changsha East Districts
Vast views of the rapidly expanding industrial and residential infrastructure of eastern Changsha.
Choose an 'F' seat if flying in the morning to avoid direct sun glare. While less scenic than the left, it provides a great overview of the rugged terrain in northern Guangdong.
