Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior experience featuring the departure over Lantau Island, panoramic views of the Ryukyu island chain, and the iconic urban landing into Fukuoka.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🗿

Big Buddha

A glimpse of the Tian Tan Buddha statue on Lantau Island during the initial ascent from HKG.

⛰️

Taiwan Central Range

On clear days, the towering peaks of Taiwan's central spine are visible across the Taiwan Strait.

🏝️

Okinawa Archipelago

Stunning views of the turquoise coral reefs and emerald islands of the Ryukyu chain mid-flight.

🌋

Southern Kyushu

Distant views of the volcanic peaks and rugged coastline of Kagoshima prefecture.

🏙️

Fukuoka Urban Approach

An incredibly close-up view of Hakata's downtown buildings and the Fukuoka Tower during final descent.

The right side is essential for the famous 'urban landing' into Fukuoka Airport, which is located in the heart of the city. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the wing flaps against the city skyline. Afternoon flights provide excellent golden hour lighting on the Japanese coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Victoria Harbour

Dramatic views of the Hong Kong skyline and the dense skyscrapers of Kowloon immediately after departure.

🌉

HZMB Bridge

The world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Pearl River Delta toward Macau.

🏔️

Fujian Mountains

High-altitude views of the rugged, forested mountain ranges of southeastern mainland China.

⛴️

East China Sea Traffic

Heavy maritime activity with cargo ships and fishing fleets dotting the waters near Ningbo.

🌊

Tsushima Strait

The deep blue waters separating the Japanese archipelago from the Korean Peninsula.

Early morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct sunlight. During the initial climb, look for the massive container terminals of Kwai Tsing. If landing from the north (Runway 34), you will get a great view of the Shika-no-shima peninsula.
