KULSZX

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled view of the iconic Hong Kong skyline and the massive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during the descent into the Pearl River Delta.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Titiwangsa Range

Spectacular views of Malaysia's central mountain backbone and the Genting Highlands shortly after departure.

🚢

South China Sea Shipping

Observe one of the world's busiest maritime routes with dozens of cargo ships and tankers dotting the blue water.

🏙️

Hong Kong Island

Breathtaking views of the Victoria Peak area and the dense skyscrapers of Central and Kowloon during descent.

🌉

HZMB Bridge

A clear view of the 55km Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge stretching across the Lingdingyang channel.

🏢

Shenzhen Nanshan

Close-up views of the 'Spring Bamboo' China Resources Tower and the modern Nanshan skyline on final approach.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. For the best experience, choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid obstructing the view of Hong Kong. If flying during the day, expect bright sunlight for the first half of the flight. The approach into SZX usually passes directly over Lantau Island, providing a perfect angle of the HK international airport and the bridge.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Klang Valley

Clear views of Putrajaya and the expanding urban sprawl of Greater Kuala Lumpur shortly after takeoff.

🏖️

Vietnam Coastline

Depending on the air corridor, you may see the beautiful sandy beaches of Da Nang and the Son Tra Peninsula.

🏝️

Hainan Island

Aerial perspective of the eastern tip of Hainan, China's tropical island province.

🌉

Zhuhai Waterfront

Views of the western side of the Pearl River Delta including the city of Zhuhai as you align for landing.

Sit on the left if you prefer coastal views of Mainland Southeast Asia. During the late afternoon, this side is shaded from the direct sun, making it better for photography without glare. Keep an eye out for the Marble Mountains when passing near Central Vietnam.
