Which side of the plane to sit from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing) to Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic karst landscapes in Southern China and the stunning coastline of Central Vietnam, followed by an approach that often features the Malaysian coastline and Pulau Ubin.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
Breathtaking views of the jagged limestone mountains near Guilin and Liuzhou as you cross Southern China.
Gulf of Tonkin
The vast blue waters of the Beibu Gulf come into view as the flight exits Chinese airspace into the South China Sea.
Central Vietnam Coast
Clear views of Da Nang's Son Tra Peninsula and the long white sand beaches of the Vietnamese coastline.
Paracel Islands
On specific flight paths, small atolls and coral reefs of the Xisha Islands can be spotted amidst the deep blue sea.
Singapore Strait
Dozens of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the strait, appearing like tiny toys in the water before landing.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Daytime flights are essential for seeing the karst topography of Guangxi. During the approach to Changi, the left side is usually the best for seeing the Johor Strait and the lush greenery of Pulau Ubin if landing from the north.
Chongqing Cityscape
Aerial view of the 'Mountain City' and the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers immediately after takeoff.
Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau
Rugged, high-altitude terrain featuring deep river valleys and terraced hillsides in Southwest China.
Mekong River Basin
The winding path of the Mekong River snaking through the dense tropical forests of Laos and Thailand.
Malay Peninsula
Views of the eastern coastline of West Malaysia, including the islands of Tioman and Redang in the distance.
Singapore Skyline
If the flight approaches from the south (Runway 02), the right side offers a distant view of the Marina Bay Sands and CBD.
Right-side passengers should watch for the dramatic change from the brown/green mountains of China to the lush tropical greens of SE Asia. If the flight arrives at night, the right side often catches the glittering lights of Singapore's downtown core during the final descent pattern, especially during a southern approach.
