Madura Island
Excellent views of the traditional salt pans and the coastline of Madura immediately after departing Surabaya.
Borneo (Kalimantan)
Distant horizons of the lush tropical rainforests of Borneo while cruising over the South China Sea.
Paracel Islands
Aerial views of the tiny coral atolls and turquoise lagoons scattered throughout the sea.
Victoria Harbour
The quintessential view of Hong Kong's skyscrapers, Central district, and Kowloon during a northern approach.
Sai Kung Islands
The 'back garden' of Hong Kong, featuring volcanic rock formations and emerald green bays.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun. It is highly recommended for the arrival phase; if the plane approaches from the east (Runway 25L/R), you will get an unparalleled view of the city center and the dense urban jungle.
