Bohai Sea Crossing
Aerial views of the strait between the Liaodong and Shandong peninsulas shortly after takeoff.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake, offering intricate shorelines and wetland patterns mid-flight.
Wuyi Mountains
The lush, mist-covered peaks along the Jiangxi and Fujian border regions.
Victoria Harbour
The world-famous skyline of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon during an eastern approach (Runway 25).
Kwai Tsing Terminals
One of the world's busiest container ports visible during the final descent phase.
Sit on the left to capture the vastness of Poyang Lake about midway through the flight. For the best arrival experience, choose an afternoon flight; the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Hong Kong skyline perfectly if landing from the east. Check the 'FlightRadar24' app to see if planes are currently landing on Runway 25 for the harbour view.

Shandong Plains
The geometric patterns of vast agricultural lands across eastern China.
Pearl River Delta
The dense urban sprawl and industrial heartland of Guangzhou and Dongguan during descent.
HZMB Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macau.
Lantau Island
Rugged mountainous terrain and a glimpse of the Big Buddha near the airport.
Macau Skyline
Views of the Cotai Strip casinos if the flight approaches from the west (Runway 07).
The right side is ideal for urban enthusiasts wanting to see the massive scale of the Pearl River Delta. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. During winter months, this side experiences more direct sunlight, so keep the window shade partially down to manage heat and glare.
