Da Nang Cityscape
A clear view of the Han River bridges and the rapidly developing skyline of central Da Nang immediately after departure.
Hai Van Pass
The rugged mountain range that separates Da Nang and Hue, known for its winding roads and steep cliffs dropping into the sea.
Hainan Coastline
The eastern edge of China's tropical Hainan province, featuring white sand beaches and coastal resorts visible during cruise.
Pearl River Industrial Belt
The massive industrial and manufacturing hubs of southern Guangdong as the flight begins its descent toward Guangzhou.
Foshan Urban Sprawl
Dense residential districts and intricate canal networks characterizing the outskirts of the Guangzhou metropolitan area.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Vietnamese coast. During departure from DAD, the plane usually turns north, putting the city and mountains directly in your window. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the Hainan coastline.

Lady Buddha Statue
The massive white statue on the Son Tra Peninsula is often visible as the plane climbs out over the bay.
South China Sea
Vast panoramas of the deep blue sea, often dotted with international cargo ships and traditional fishing fleets.
HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge can often be spotted in the distance when approaching the Pearl River Delta from the south.
Nansha Port
One of the busiest container terminals in the world, showcasing the scale of global trade at the mouth of the Pearl River.
Canton Tower
On clear days during a northern approach, the iconic twisted structure of the Canton Tower may be visible in the distance.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Watch for the complex infrastructure of the Pearl River Delta during the final 20 minutes of flight. If the aircraft approaches CAN from the south, this side offers a better chance to see the sprawling port facilities and mega-bridges.
