ZUH → TSN
Which side of the plane to sit from Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai) to Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Chinese coastline, including the Yangtze River Delta, Hangzhou Bay, and the vast industrial ports of the Bohai Sea.
Pearl River Estuary
Views of the numerous islands scattered across the South China Sea and the sprawling logistics hubs of the coast.
Hangzhou Bay
The massive cross-sea bridge and the unique circular patterns of the Qiantang River estuary.
Yangtze Delta Edge
Distances views of the Shanghai metropolitan area and the bustling water traffic near the mouth of the Yangtze.
Bohai Sea Coast
The dramatic meeting point of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea as you fly along the Shandong Peninsula.
Tianjin Binhai New Area
A close-up look at one of the world's busiest artificial ports and the futuristic architecture of the Binhai district during descent.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side to catch the sunrise over the East China Sea. This side is significantly more interesting during the final 30 minutes of the flight, as the approach into TSN often follows the coastline, providing views of the massive salt pans and port infrastructure of the Bohai Rim. Use binoculars if possible to spot the heavy maritime traffic in the delta regions.
Pearl River Interior
Aerial views of the densely populated urban corridor between Zhuhai, Zhongshan, and Guangzhou shortly after takeoff.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged, forested terrain marking the geographic transition between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.
Poyang Lake Basin
The western edges of China's largest freshwater lake and its intricate network of surrounding wetlands.
Yangtze River Crossing
A spectacular view of the massive river as it winds through the interior of Anhui province.
North China Plain
An endless patchwork of agricultural fields and rural settlements stretching across the horizon in Shandong.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the green mountains of the south to the flat, golden-brown agricultural plains of the north. On clear days, the silhouette of Mount Tai may be visible in the distance as you pass through Shandong.
