Numerous cargo ships and tankers dotting the sea lanes between Taiwan and Vietnam.
Paracel Islands
Remote coral atolls and reefs visible on exceptionally clear days in the middle of the South China Sea.

Mekong Delta
A stunning patchwork of emerald rice paddies and winding brown river branches during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the South China Sea.

Avoid seats over the wing (typically rows 15-25 on the A321 aircraft commonly used on this route) to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastal terrain and islands.
