Leizhou Peninsula
Observe the red soil and agricultural patterns of China's southernmost mainland tip.
Hainan Island
Look out for the northern coastline of Hainan and the busy shipping lanes in the Qiongzhou Strait.
Hai Van Pass
A dramatic view of the jagged mountains and winding roads that separate Da Nang from Hue.
Da Nang Cityscape
A panoramic view of the Han River bridges, including the Dragon Bridge, as the plane descends into the airport.
The right side is ideal for seeing the diverse geography of Hainan and the rugged Vietnamese coastline. Aim for afternoon flights to get the best light on the Hai Van Pass. Watch for the distinct 'Dragon Bridge' as you near the runway.

Pearl River Delta
View the sprawling urban expanse of Guangzhou and the surrounding industrial hubs immediately after takeoff.
South China Sea
A long stretch of deep blue ocean as the flight crosses from the Chinese coast toward Central Vietnam.
Son Tra Peninsula
As the plane banks for landing, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the lush 'Monkey Mountain' and the Linh Ung Pagoda.
My Khe Beach
The famous long white sandy coastline of Da Nang becomes visible during the final descent.
Choose this side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the lush greenery of the Son Tra Peninsula if the flight path approaches Da Nang from the sea.
