KULPEK

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior coastal views, spanning the South China Sea, the Vietnamese coastline, and the expansive Pearl River Delta before descending over the Yellow Sea coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Da Nang Coastline

Stunning views of the Son Tra Peninsula and the white sand beaches of Central Vietnam.

🏝️

Hainan Island

The tropical eastern edge of China's 'Hawaii,' featuring turquoise waters and coastal developments.

🌃

Pearl River Delta

A massive megalopolis of lights including Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou on night flights.

🚢

Yellow Sea Coast

Observation of massive shipping lanes and intricate aquaculture patterns near the Bohai Gulf.

🏟️

Beijing Cityscape

Panoramic views of the capital's grid layout and modern landmarks like the Olympic Park during the final descent.

This side is optimal for morning departures to catch the sunrise over the ocean. It offers more diverse scenery ranging from tropical islands to the industrial heart of the Chinese coast. For the best views of the Beijing approach, avoid seats over the wing to see the city's vast expansion.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Titiwangsa Mountains

The rugged, jungle-covered spine of Peninsular Malaysia visible shortly after takeoff from KUL.

🌾

Mekong Delta

A vast network of distributaries and green rice paddies in Southern Vietnam.

🏔️

Central Highlands

Dense forests and undulating terrain as the flight crosses into mainland Southeast Asia.

🌊

Yangtze River

One of the world's longest rivers, appearing as a massive silver ribbon winding through Central China.

🏙️

Zhengzhou Urban Area

The sprawling industrial landscape of the Henan province capital during the mid-flight phase.

Select a window on the left for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Asian continent. If the approach into PEK comes from the west, this side provides the best chance to spot the rugged Taihang Mountains and rural northern landscapes.
