KWE â HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the unique Guizhou karst topography shortly after takeoff and provides an iconic view of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and Lantau Island during the descent into HKG.
Guizhou Limestone Clusters
Extensive views of the 'Forest of Peaks' that Guizhou is famous for, especially beautiful in the early morning mist.
Foshan Urban Grid
Observe the intricate network of canals and dense industrial-residential clusters of Foshan and the western Delta.
Pearl River Estuary
Spot numerous cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy waters where the Pearl River meets the South China Sea.
HZMB Bridge
A spectacular bird's-eye view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macau.
Lantau Island Peaks
Get a close look at the Big Buddha and the mountainous terrain of Lantau Island during the descent into Chek Lap Kok.
Book a window seat on the right for the iconic approach into Hong Kong. For the best photos of the HK-Zhuhai-Macau bridge, stay alert when the pilot announces the descent. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the karst hills in Guizhou without the afternoon haze.
Guizhou Karst Formations
View the rugged and dramatic limestone peaks of Guizhou province immediately after takeoff from KWE.
Guangzhou CBD
Distant but clear views of the Canton Tower and the skyscrapers of Zhujiang New Town if the flight path tracks north.
Shenzhen Skyline
A panoramic view of the Shenzhen high-rise clusters including the Ping An Finance Centre as you approach the border.
New Territories Parks
Glimpse the lush green hills of the Pat Sin Leng and Tai Mo Shan country parks during the final approach.
The left side is ideal for night flights to capture the massive urban sprawl and light displays of Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Aim for an afternoon flight to avoid direct glare from the sun, which will be to the south/west.
