Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers distant but majestic views of the Himalayan range during the first half of the journey and a superior perspective of the Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong skyline upon arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Himalayan Horizon

Visibility of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks to the north during the initial cruise phase over India.

🏞️

Yunnan Highlands

Dramatic views of the rugged, high-altitude terrain and deep river valleys of Southern China.

🌆

Pearl River Delta

The massive urban convergence of Shenzhen and Guangzhou as the flight begins its descent.

🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

A spectacular overhead view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge during the final approach.

For morning departures, the left side avoids direct glare, providing clear views of the mountains. During the approach into HKG, if landing on Runway 07L/R, the left side provides a stunning view of the airport's layout and the North Lantau coastline.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌾

Ganges River Basin

Expansive views of the fertile plains and intricate river systems of North India.

🌊

Bay of Bengal Fringe

Views of the coastal boundaries of Bangladesh and Myanmar depending on the specific seasonal air corridor.

🏝️

South China Sea Islands

Dozens of small islands and cargo ships dotting the turquoise waters near the Pearl River estuary.

🎰

Macau Skyline

A glimpse of the grand casinos and unique architecture of the Macau peninsula just before touchdown.

Choose the right side if the flight is in the late afternoon to catch the sunset over the South China Sea. If the aircraft approaches HKG from the south (Runway 25L/R), this side offers better views of the outlying islands like Lamma and Cheung Chau.
