HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
An unparalleled aerial view of the 55km bridge and tunnel system connecting the three cities right after takeoff.
Macau Skyline
Visible just west of the flight path, showcasing the iconic Grand Lisboa and the Cotai Strip casino clusters.
Annamite Range
Densely forested mountains and deep valleys along the border of Vietnam and Laos, often shrouded in mist.
Tonle Sap Lake
The massive 'Great Lake' of Cambodia is clearly visible to the west during the descent, especially striking during high water season.
Phnom Penh Landmarks
Clear views of the Tonle Sap river confluence and the Royal Palace golden spires if the plane lands from the north.
This is the 'scenic side' for landmarks. Sit in the front third of the cabin to ensure the wing doesn't block the view of the HK-Macau bridge. Afternoon flights provide excellent golden-hour lighting for photographing the Tonle Sap Lake and the rugged Vietnamese highlands. During takeoff from HKG, be ready with your camera immediately as the bridge appears within 2 minutes of lift-off.

South China Sea
Expansive views of the busy shipping lanes and deep blue waters immediately after departing Lantau Island.
Paracel Islands
On clear days, distant sightings of the coral atolls and turquoise reefs are possible in the middle of the flight.
Central Vietnam Coast
Visuals of the white sandy coastlines near Da Nang and the lush greenery of the coastal plains.
Lower Mekong Delta
Intricate networks of brown silt-rich rivers and canals as the flight crosses from Vietnam into Cambodia.
Phnom Penh Suburbs
Views of the expanding residential districts and industrial zones on the southern outskirts of the capital.
Choose this side for softer morning light during early flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the wet season (May to October), look for the dramatic cumulonimbus clouds that build up over the South China Sea. If the aircraft approaches PNH from the south, you'll get a better look at the dense urban grid.
