SIN β†’ CKG

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more diverse visual experience, featuring the stunning coastline of Central Vietnam, potential views of Hainan Island, and a dramatic descent over the winding Yangtze River as you enter the mountainous Chongqing region.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

South China Sea

Vast turquoise waters dotted with cargo ships and small island clusters during the first leg.

πŸ–οΈ

Vietnam Coastline

Detailed views of the sandy beaches and lagoons near Da Nang and the Marble Mountains.

πŸ™οΈ

Da Nang City

A clear view of the Han River and the modern urban development along the Vietnamese coast.

πŸ”οΈ

Wulong Karst Area

Fly near the spectacular limestone formations and sinkholes of the UNESCO-listed karst landscape.

🌊

Yangtze River Valley

Follow the iconic Yangtze River as it carves through the mountains towards Chongqing.

The right side is ideal for the descent into CKG, as the flight path often follows the Yangtze River. For evening arrivals, you will see the 'City of Bridges' illuminated. Note that Chongqing is frequently foggy, so high-altitude coastal views are often more reliable than the final ground approach. Best visibility is usually in autumn or winter.

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬

Singapore Skyline

Upon departure, catch a glimpse of the dense urban layout and the bustling port of Singapore.

⛰️

Annamite Mountains

Fly over the rugged peaks and dense forests along the border between Vietnam and Laos.

πŸ›Ά

Mekong River

Cross over the upper reaches of the Mekong as it snakes through the Southeast Asian mainland.

🌫️

Guizhou Plateau

Observe the unique high-altitude plateau geography and deep valleys of Southern China.

πŸŒ‰

Jialing River

As the plane descends into Chongqing, view the winding Jialing River and its many bridges.

Choose this side if you prefer inland mountain landscapes and karst geography. On morning flights, the lighting is softer over the mountains, revealing deep shadows in the valleys. Seats ahead of the wing are best to avoid engine heat haze. During the monsoon season, look for cloud seas trapped between the peaks of Guizhou.
