Helicopter sightseeing — a new urban travel option

Want a fresh perspective on Shenzhen? Helicopter sightseeing tours offer dramatic aerial views of city skylines, coastline, mountains and iconic landmarks — perfect for special occasions, photography or a unique weekend outing. 

Sightseeing tours

Tours operate under “空中游览” (Aerial Tours) in the “空中的士出行” (Aerial Taxi) WeChat miniprogram. Choose from routes over Longgang, Futian, Nanshan, Yantian, Dapeng, Luohu, Longhua and nearby Dongguan, plus themed options for couples and family-friendly routes.

Point-to-point transport

For point-to-point transport, open the “专线出行” page on this miniprogram. Select your departure (出发地) and destination (目的地). For example, to fly from Pingshan District to the Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport, select 深圳 (Shenzhen) → 坪山 (Pingshan District) → 坪山国际会展中心 (Yanzi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center) as your departure point, then Shenzhen → 宝安区 (Bao’an District) → 宝安机场 (the Bao’an airport) as the destination. 

Tap “下一步” (Next) to pick a departure time and the number of passengers, then tap “预约” (Reserve) to confirm your booking.

There are also flights to Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macao, Zhuhai, Dongguan and other parts of Shenzhen. If the “咨询客服” (Contact Customer Service) button appears in place of “下一步”, it means the route is not a regular service — call 400-0755-001 for a customized charter.

Some locations have no entry/exit point, so passengers from these locations cannot fly directly to Hong Kong or Macao.
