South China Sea Coast
Panoramic views of the turquoise coastline and white sandy beaches of eastern Guangdong.
Lantau Island Peaks
The dramatic green mountains of Hong Kong's largest island, often including a glimpse of the Big Buddha.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Lingdingyang waters.
Macao Skyline
The distinctive architecture of the Cotai Strip and the Macao Tower visible during the final approach.
Wanshan Archipelago

Choose the left side for sunset flights to avoid direct glare while still capturing the golden hour glow on the water. This side is superior for photography of the HZMB bridge during the ZUH approach. Check weather for visibility; humidity in the Pearl River Delta can create haze in summer.
