Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

South China Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue waters shortly after takeoff from Lantau Island.

🏝️

Wanshan Archipelago

A cluster of rugged islands scattered across the Pearl River Estuary southern entrance.

🏖️

Hailing Island

Visible midway through the flight, known for its famous Ten-Mile Silver Beach.

🌉

Zhanjiang Bay Bridge

A major cable-stayed bridge crossing the bay, visible during the final descent phase.

🚢

Zhanjiang Port

One of China's most important deep-water ports, featuring numerous cargo ships and naval vessels.

Choose a window seat behind the wing for unobstructed coastal views. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the coastline, while evening flights offer a beautiful sunset over the Gulf of Tonkin as you descend. Watch for the intricate shapes of aquaculture farms along the shore near Yangjiang.

Right Side Highlights
7.0
⛰️

Lantau Island Peaks

Immediate views of the Big Buddha and the mountainous terrain of western Hong Kong.

🏙️

Macau & Zhuhai

The dense urban skyline of the Cotai Strip and the neighboring coastal city of Zhuhai.

🌉

HZMB

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the world's longest sea-crossing, stretching across the estuary.

🚜

Pearl River Delta Hinterland

A patchwork of industrial zones, rivers, and agricultural land in western Guangdong.

🌆

Zhuhai Coastline

Detailed views of the Lovers' Road and the seaside developments of the Xiangzhou District.

The right side is excellent for seeing the engineering marvel of the HZMB bridge immediately after takeoff. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for some glare from the sun. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for the best urban photography of the Greater Bay Area.
