Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the South China Sea coastline, the engineering marvel of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, and the scenic islands dotting the Fujian-Guangdong border.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

The world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Pearl River Estuary.

🏝️

Wanshan Archipelago

Clusters of emerald islands scattered across the turquoise waters of the South China Sea.

🚢

Daya Bay Coastal View

Deep-water ports and the prominent coastal infrastructure of the Huizhou industrial zone.

🗾

Nanao Island

A large, scenic island with a long bridge connecting it to the Shantou mainland.

🚩

Kinmen Island

The distinct shape of Kinmen and its coastal villages are visible just before the final approach into Xiamen.

Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the coastline without creating harsh glare for right-side passengers. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from ZUH for the HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and again 10 minutes before landing for views of Kinmen Island. This side consistently offers the most diverse geographic features.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Shenzhen Skyline

View the dense skyscrapers of the Nanshan and Futian districts as you fly northeast.

⛰️

Eastern Guangdong Highlands

Lush, rolling mountain ranges that define the geography of the interior Guangdong province.

🌾

Han River Delta

A complex network of inland waterways and agricultural basins near the city of Chaozhou.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine glare. Look for the massive urban sprawl of the Greater Bay Area early in the flight. This side is better during late afternoon flights to see the sunset glow over the inland mountains.
