Yellow River Crossing
Witness the silty, yellowish waters of the 'Mother River' as it snakes through the North China Plain.
Dabie Mountains
Rolling green mountain ridges that mark the geographic boundary between North and South China.
Pearl River Delta
The massive, interconnected urban megalopolis of Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen during descent.
Tian Tan Buddha
The majestic 'Big Buddha' statue atop Lantau Island is often visible during the final turn to land.
HKZM Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge-tunnel system linking Hong Kong with Macau and Zhuhai.
This side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the South China Sea. During the final 10 minutes of flight, the right side provides the best view of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the greenery of Lantau Island. Use a wide-angle lens to capture the scale of the Pearl River Delta urban density.

Shenyang Skyline
Aerial view of the Hun River and the dense urban layout of Liaoning's capital shortly after takeoff.
Bohai Sea Coast
The rugged coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula as the aircraft transitions over the northern inner sea.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake in Jiangxi, showcasing dramatic seasonal water level changes.
Lushan National Park
The UNESCO-listed mountain range known for its mist-shrouded peaks and deep forest valleys.
Victoria Harbour
If approaching HKG from the east, a breathtaking view of the Central and Tsim Sha Tsui skylines.
Select this side for morning departures to have the sun behind you for better photography. It is particularly rewarding if the wind requires a Runway 25 approach, as you will fly directly past the iconic Hong Kong Island skyline. Keep an eye out for the vast Poyang Lake during the midpoint of the flight.
