Clusters of emerald islands scattered across the South China Sea as you enter the Pearl River Delta approach.

An incredible top-down view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge and its artificial islands.
HK International Airport
Frequently see the massive three-runway system and aircraft movements at Chek Lap Kok from above.
Hong Kong Skyline
On clear days, see the iconic skyscrapers of Victoria Harbour and the mountainous terrain of Lantau Island.
Shenzhen CBD
During final approach, enjoy a close-up view of the Ping An Finance Centre and the dense, modern skyline of Nanshan and Futian.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right side for a night flight. The 'Sea of Lights' from Hong Kong and the HZMB is world-class. If flying during the day, keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing when the plane begins its descent over the islands.

Haikou Coastline
Aerial views of Haikou's northern beaches and the bustling city urban planning as you climb out of Meilan Airport.
Qiongzhou Strait
Watch the busy shipping lanes and ferries crossing the narrow body of water separating Hainan Island from mainland China.
Zhanjiang Port
A clear view of the industrial and naval infrastructure of Zhanjiang city and its deep-water harbor.
Zhuhai & Macau
As the plane approaches the Pearl River Delta, see the dense urban clusters of Zhuhai and the distinct casinos of Macau.
Humen Bridge

Sit on the left if you prefer views of the mainland coastline and the western side of the Pearl River Delta. This side is particularly good for seeing the sunset if you are on a late afternoon flight, as the sun will be behind you or to your side, illuminating the coast without glare.
