HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
A breathtaking view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge, including its artificial islands and tunnel sections.
Macau & Zhuhai Skyline
Clear sightlines of the Cotai Strip casinos, the Macau Tower, and the rapidly growing urban sprawl of Zhuhai.
Pearl River Estuary
One of the world's busiest waterways, filled with high-speed ferries, container ships, and silt-heavy river water mixing with the sea.
Leizhou Peninsula
The southern tip of mainland China, characterized by red volcanic soil and vast agricultural patterns.
Qiongzhou Strait
The narrow strip of water separating the mainland from Hainan, often bustling with train ferries and fishing vessels.
Haikou City
A low-altitude view of Haikou's waterfront, including the Century Bridge and the Nandu River Delta during final approach.
This is the 'land-side' of the flight. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to witness a spectacular sunset over the Gulf of Tonkin as you approach Haikou. Ensure your window is clean, as the low-altitude views of Macau are highly photogenic.

South Lantau Peaks
Dramatic views of Sunset Peak and Lantau Peak as the aircraft climbs away from Hong Kong International Airport.
Soko Islands
A cluster of remote, emerald-green islands situated in the southern waters of Hong Kong.
South China Sea
Expansive, deep blue maritime views with occasional cargo ships and tankers traversing international shipping lanes.
Hainan Tropical Coast
The lush, green vegetation and coastal lagoons of northeastern Hainan Island appearing during the descent.
Sit toward the back of the cabin to keep the wing from obstructing the view of the Soko Islands. This side is preferred for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun which typically stays to the south and west during this route.
