Shenzhen Skyline
Breathtaking views of Shenzhen's high-rise architecture and the bustling Nanshan district immediately after takeoff.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
A bird's eye view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Pearl River Delta.
Central Vietnam Coast
Clear views of the Son Tra Peninsula, the white sands of Da Nang, and the ancient city of Hoi An as the flight cruises south.
Truong Son Mountains
The rugged, jungle-covered peaks of the Annamite Range along the border of Vietnam and Laos.
The Mekong River
The massive, silt-rich Mekong River winding through the landscape near the Laos-Thailand border.
Eastern Bangkok
As the plane turns for DMK, enjoy views of the dense residential suburbs and the Chao Phraya River bends.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct afternoon sun. The approach into DMK often provides a sweeping view of the city's canals and the Suvarnabhumi Airport area in the distance. During the monsoon season (June–October), look for dramatic cloud formations over the South China Sea.

Zhuhai & Macau

Khorat Plateau
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northeastern Thailand, characterized by geometric rice paddies.
Northern Bangkok Parks

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over mainland Southeast Asia. On a clear day, you can see the distinctive grid patterns of Thai rice fields. Avoid this side during mid-afternoon flights as the sun will be directly in your window for the majority of the journey.
