HKGKWE

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Pearl River Delta's complex infrastructure and the transition from the South China Sea coastline into the dramatic karst mountain ranges of Guangxi and Guizhou.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌉

HZMB Bridge

Clear views of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge stretching across the estuary shortly after takeoff from HKG.

🌊

Pearl River Estuary

The massive scale of the Pearl River's mouth, where the silt-laden water meets the blue sea.

⛰️

Seven Star Crags

The iconic limestone pillars of Zhaoqing rising from the lakes as the plane enters western Guangdong.

💧

Xijiang River

The winding path of the West River as it carves through the hilly terrain of the Guangxi border.

🏔️

Guizhou Karst Peaks

The spectacular 'chocolate-drop' landscape of isolated limestone peaks characteristic of southern Guizhou.

Book an 'A' window seat for the best perspective of the South China Sea. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare reflecting off the Pearl River. Look out for the massive industrial ports of Nansha mid-flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Shenzhen Skyline

Unmatched views of the dense skyscraper clusters in Nanshan and Qianhai districts during the climb.

🚢

Shekou Port

One of China's busiest container terminals visible as the flight tracks northwest.

🌲

Guposhan National Park

Dense forest canopies and rugged granite peaks of the Nanling mountain range on the right horizon.

🏢

Guiyang Urban Sprawl

The impressive vertical density of Guiyang's newer districts as the plane descends into Longdongbao.

Choose a 'K' seat for the best view of the Shenzhen/Hong Kong border. Guizhou is notoriously cloudy; use a flight tracking app to spot the 'sea of clouds' which is a common and beautiful sight on this route during spring.
