REP → HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Siem Reap International Airport (Siem-reap) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the best opportunities to see the Cambodian jungle, the central Vietnamese coastline, and the spectacular urban landscape of Hong Kong during the final approach.
Angkor Archaeological Park
Depending on the departure path, you may catch a glimpse of the sprawling temple complexes north of Siem Reap.
Da Nang & Marble Mountains
Beautiful views of the central Vietnamese coast and the white sands of My Khe Beach.
Hainan Island
The flight path often passes near the southern tip of this tropical Chinese island, known for its resorts.
Victoria Harbour
The iconic skyline of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon is often visible on the right during a standard approach.
Lantau Island & Big Buddha
During descent, look for the Tian Tan Buddha statue and the rugged peaks of Lantau Island.
The right side is the 'scenic winner' for the Hong Kong arrival. For the best experience, try to book a flight that arrives in the late afternoon to see the city lights beginning to flicker on, or mid-day for clear coastal views of Vietnam.
Tonle Sap Lake
Visible shortly after takeoff, this is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Annamite Range
The rugged, jungle-clad mountain chain that forms the border between Laos and Vietnam.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
On a western approach to HKG, you can see the world's longest sea-crossing bridge snaking across the delta.
Pearl River Delta
A vast view of one of the world's most densely populated industrial and urban corridors.
Choose the left side for better views of the massive Tonle Sap Lake at departure. This side is also preferable if you want to avoid direct sun glare during morning flights heading northeast toward Hong Kong.
