Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks along this coastal corridor, including the Pearl River Delta megacities, Hong Kong's islands, and a dramatic final approach into Kaohsiung Harbor.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

Marvel at the world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the mouth of the Pearl River.

✈️

Lantau Island

Get a birds-eye view of Hong Kong International Airport and the mountainous terrain of Lantau Island.

🌊

South China Sea

Enjoy expansive views of the blue waters and remote island chains scattered throughout the South China Sea.

🚢

Kaohsiung Harbor

Watch the massive container ships and industrial cranes as you descend into one of the world's busiest ports.

🏖️

Cijin Island

See the long, narrow strip of Cijin Island and the historic lighthouse guarding the entrance to Kaohsiung.

The right side is unbeatable for the approach into Kaohsiung, especially during sunset when the water reflects the orange sky. Sit here to see Macau and the Hong Kong archipelago in the mid-flight phase. Ensure your window is clean as the coastal haze can sometimes obscure distant city lights.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Guangxi Karst Peaks

Shortly after takeoff, view the unique limestone formations and lush green hills surrounding the Nanning area.

🏞️

West River Valley

Follow the winding course of the Xijiang River as it flows through Guangdong province toward the coast.

🏙️

Pearl River Delta North

Catch glimpses of the dense urban sprawl of Guangzhou and Dongguan stretching toward the northern horizon.

🌊

Shantou Coastline

Before crossing the strait, see the rugged coastline where the mainland meets the East China Sea.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look out early for the karst mountains of Guangxi, and later for the northern outskirts of the Pearl River Delta. This side provides a better view of the mountainous interior of southern China.
