Altai Mountains
Stunning snow-capped peaks spanning the borders of Russia, Mongolia, and China.
Gobi Desert
Dramatic desert basins and sand dunes along the Mongolian-Chinese border region.
Qilian Mountains
High-altitude glaciers and rugged terrain on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau.
HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge visible during the final descent into HKG.
Lantau Island
Aerial views of the mountainous Lantau Island and the Big Buddha if approaching from the west.
The right side is best for mountain lovers. Try to book a window seat forward of the wing to see the Altai range in the first 90 minutes of flight. For afternoon arrivals into HKG, the right side often catches the sun setting over the South China Sea and provides the best view of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

Ob River
The massive river system flowing through Novosibirsk visible shortly after departure.
Mongolian Steppe
Vast, open grassy plains and the unique geography of central Mongolia.
Loess Plateau
Distinguishable yellow-brown silt landscape of northern China with unique erosion patterns.
Pearl River Delta
The dense urban sprawl of Guangzhou and Shenzhen illuminating the horizon on night flights.
Sit on the left for the best views of the sunrise if on an overnight flight. It also provides a superior perspective of the inland Chinese cities like Xi'an depending on the specific air corridor. For winter flights, expect heavy cloud cover over central China, making the urban lights of the Pearl River Delta the main attraction at the end.
