HKIA Terminal View
A full panoramic view of the Chek Lap Kok airport infrastructure and the North Lantau coastline.
Pearl River Sprawl
The dense industrial and urban heart of the PRD region, including Foshan and Zhaoqing.
Xi Jiang River System
The massive, winding 'West River' which serves as a vital artery for southern China's trade.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
Distinctive limestone 'sugarloaf' mountains that begin to dominate the landscape during descent.
The Green City
Final approach views of Nanning's lush urban forestation and the Qingxiu Mountain area.
The right side is best for observing the changing topography from flat delta plains to mountainous karst terrain. On morning flights, the lighting is perfect for capturing the deep greens of the Guangxi hills. Try to book a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the delicate mountain shapes.
