South China Sea
Expansive views of turquoise waters and scattered shipping vessels shortly after departure from Singapore.
Da Nang Coastline
Spectacular views of the Son Tra Peninsula and the white sand beaches of Central Vietnam as the flight crosses the coast.
Mekong River
The intricate silver ribbon of the Mekong River snaking through the lush mountain jungles of Laos.
Guizhou Karst
Dense clusters of limestone cone hills and deep green valleys characteristic of Southern China's unique topography.
Opt for an afternoon flight to witness the sun setting over the Indo-Chinese mountains. The descent into Chengdu often provides a clear view of the Longquan Mountain range on the left if the flight path approaches from the south. Keep your window shade open during the mid-flight crossing of the Vietnamese coast for the best coastal photography.

Hainan Island
Distant views of the mountainous interior and northern coastline of China's tropical island province on clear days.
Gulf of Tonkin
A view of the busy maritime routes and fishing fleets connecting Southeast Asia with the major ports of Southern China.
Sichuan Basin Entry
The dramatic transition from the high Guizhou plateau into the often misty and low-lying fertile Sichuan Basin.
Chengdu Urban Sprawl
The rapidly expanding cityscape of Chengdu and its surrounding satellite towns during the final approach into Shuangliu.
Choose a morning flight for the best natural lighting over the South China Sea and Hainan. Be prepared for limited visibility during the final descent, as the Sichuan Basin is frequently covered in a thick layer of low clouds or haze, making the ground features appear more ethereal.
