Zhanjiang Cityscape
Views of the western districts of Zhanjiang and the suburban greenery of the Leizhou Peninsula during the initial climb.
Beibu Gulf
The shimmering waters of the Gulf of Tonkin to the west, often filled with local fishing vessels and light reflection.
Nandu River Delta
The complex network of waterways and modern bridges where the Nandu River meets the sea just before landing at Meilan.
Haikou Downtown
A sweeping view of the Haikou city skyline, including its high-rise buildings and coastal parks, during the descent phase.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the Beibu Gulf. It provides the most dramatic views of Haikou's urban development. Because the flight is very short (often under 40 minutes), keep your window shade up and camera ready immediately after takeoff.

Zhanjiang Bay
A clear view of the bustling Zhanjiang port facilities and the large ships navigating the harbor channels shortly after takeoff.
Donghai Island
The massive industrial landscape and natural coastline of China's fifth-largest island as you head south from the mainland.
Qiongzhou Strait
Aerial perspective of the strategic waterway separating Guangdong province from Hainan, often dotted with ferry traffic.
South China Sea Horizon
An unobstructed view of the vast eastern sea, particularly stunning during morning flights as the sun rises.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the sea. This side is typically quieter visually but offers a sense of the vastness of the South China Sea. Keep an eye out for the Hainan coastal windmills as you descend.
