Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Chinese coastline, the tropical landscapes of Hainan Island, the rugged Annamite Range, and the potential for a spectacular view of the Angkor archaeological zone during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Zhejiang Coast

Densely populated coastal cities and the rugged hilly terrain of eastern China's coastline.

🌉

Pearl River Delta

Possible distant views of the massive urban sprawl and infrastructure connecting Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

🌴

Hainan Island

Dramatic aerial views of the tropical island's mountainous interior and sprawling southern beaches.

⛰️

Annamite Range

The dense, misty jungles and mountain ridges that form the natural border between Vietnam and Laos.

🛕

Angkor Archaeological Park

Look for the distinct geometric shapes of ancient barays and temple enclosures as the plane maneuvers for landing.

This side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. The descent over Cambodia is the highlight; watch for the massive square reservoirs (Barays) that characterize the ancient Khmer engineering around Angkor.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

East China Sea

Expansive ocean views immediately after takeoff from Pudong across the coastal shelf.

🏝️

Taiwan Strait

Distant glimpses of the horizon where the Pacific meets the East China Sea along the Fujian coast.

🏖️

Da Nang Coastline

Striking views of the central Vietnamese coast and the turquoise waters near the Son Tra Peninsula.

💧

Tonle Sap Lake

Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake visible as a shimmering inland sea during the final descent.

🏙️

Siem Reap Countryside

Lush green rural landscapes and traditional Khmer stilt houses transitioning into the town.

Sit on the left for sunrise views on early morning flights. Keep an eye out for the vastness of Tonle Sap Lake as you enter Cambodian airspace; its size changes dramatically between the dry and wet seasons.
