REPCAN

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unbeatable aerial perspective of the Angkor Archaeological Park immediately after takeoff, followed by stunning views of the Vietnamese coastline and the dense urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏛️

Angkor Archaeological Park

The massive moat and towers of Angkor Wat are often visible shortly after departure from Siem Reap.

🌊

Gulf of Tonkin

Wide-angle views of the South China Sea as the flight tracks along the Vietnamese coast.

🏝️

Hainan Island

Distant views of China's tropical island province and the Qiongzhou Strait.

🌉

Pearl River Delta

A massive network of bridges and ports connecting the Greater Bay Area cities.

🏙️

Guangzhou Skyline

The iconic Canton Tower and CBD skyscrapers are frequently visible during the final approach.

The right side is essential for seeing the temples of Angkor; request a window seat away from the wing. During the descent into Guangzhou, keep your eyes peeled for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Cambodian landmarks without the afternoon haze common in Southeast Asia.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏞️

Annamite Range

Dense, jungle-covered mountains that define the border between Laos and Vietnam.

⛰️

Guangxi Karst Peaks

Spectacular limestone formations visible as the flight transitions into Southern China.

🚜

Southern China Farmland

A mosaic of agricultural plots and small villages in the inland Guangdong province.

🌫️

Pearl River Western Reach

The winding inland tributaries leading toward the industrial heart of Foshan.

Sit on the left if you prefer rugged mountain terrain and the unique karst topography of Southern China. For the best visibility of the ground, choose a midday flight when shadows are minimal over the dense jungle regions.
