Sai Kung Peninsula
Stunning views of Hong Kong's Geopark, featuring emerald waters, white sand beaches, and volcanic rock formations.
Daya Bay
Clear visibility of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant complex and the picturesque Dapeng Peninsula coastline.
Nan'ao Island & Bridge
The large, crescent-shaped Nan'ao Island and its impressively long bridge connecting it to the mainland near Shantou.
Taiwan Strait
The vast blue horizon where the South China Sea meets the Taiwan Strait, often dotted with cargo ships and fishing fleets.
Quanzhou Bay Bridge
During the final descent, catch a view of the massive cross-sea bridge spanning the Quanzhou Bay area.
The right side is best for sunset flights as the sun reflects off the sea. Keep your camera ready during the first 15 minutes for Hong Kong's islands and the last 10 minutes for the Quanzhou coastal approach. Look for traditional Fujianese 'Tulou' circular buildings in the rural areas during descent.
