Mekong River Curve
The brown, winding waters of the Mekong River marking the international border between Thailand and Laos.
Gulf of Tonkin
The transition from the Vietnamese coastline into the deep blue of the South China Sea.
Leizhou Peninsula
The northern reaches of the South China Sea and the tip of mainland China's southern peninsula.
HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
An engineering marvel visible during the descent, spanning the waters of the Pearl River Estuary.
Pearl River Maritime Traffic
Hundreds of container ships and ferries navigating the waters near Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right and aim for a mid-day or afternoon flight. The descent into Shenzhen Bao'an is often spectacular on this side, providing clear views of the Macao and Zhuhai skylines and the world's longest sea-crossing bridge. Keep your camera ready about 25 minutes before landing.

Bangkok Urban Sprawl
A sweeping view of the densely packed northern Bangkok suburbs and the Pathum Thani area shortly after takeoff.
Annamite Mountains
The rugged, green-covered mountain range that forms the natural border between Laos and Vietnam.
Khorat Plateau
Vast agricultural landscapes and grid-like farming patterns of Northeast Thailand's Isan region.
Guangzhou-Shenzhen Corridor
One of the most densely populated urban areas in the world, visible as you descend into the Guangdong province.
The left side is preferable for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a more terrestrial view of the rugged Indochina interior. If landing toward the north at SZX, you may see the sprawling manufacturing hubs of Dongguan.
