Shenzhen Skyline
Detailed views of the skyscrapers in Nanshan and Bao'an districts, highlighting China's rapid urban growth.
Mega-Bridge Network
Aerial perspective of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the newly constructed Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link.
The World's Factory
The massive industrial and residential sprawl of Dongguan and Foshan within the Pearl River Delta.
Lianhua Mountains
Lush green ridges and undulating hills that separate the coastal plains from the inland regions.
Zhanjiang Bay
Views of the Zhanjiang Bay Bridge and the strategic deep-water port facilities during the final approach.
Select an 'F' seat for the most dynamic views. The right side is shielded from direct sunlight on this westward route, making it better for photography. Morning flights offer the best visibility as smog in the Pearl River Delta is often lower. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the most impressive bridge views.

South China Sea Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue ocean extending toward the horizon as the flight tracks the coastline.
Wanshan Archipelago
A scattered collection of over 100 rugged islands located south of the Pearl River estuary.
Maritime Shipping Lanes
Dense clusters of container ships and tankers navigating some of the world's busiest trade routes.
Hailing Island
Spot the famous white sands and resort areas of one of Guangdong's most popular beach destinations.
Offshore Wind Farms
Large-scale arrays of white wind turbines standing in the shallow coastal waters near Yangjiang.
Opt for an 'A' seat for these ocean views. Note that because the flight travels west, the left side faces south, leading to significant sun glare during midday flights. Evening flights are ideal for the left side to witness the sun setting over the water, creating a stunning golden reflection on the South China Sea.
