North China Plain
Expansive agricultural patterns and irrigation networks that define China's breadbasket.
Yangtze River Middle Reaches
A high-altitude view of the river's winding path as it snakes through the Hubei and Hunan provinces.
Guangxi Karst Mountains
Breathtaking views of the famous limestone 'gumdrop' mountains around the Guilin and Nanning regions.
The Mekong River
The primary artery of Southeast Asia, often visible as a shimmering silver line marking the border zone.
Bangkok Cityscape
On many arrival paths, this side offers a panoramic view of Bangkok's skyscrapers and the Chao Phraya River.
This is the premier side for afternoon flights, as it provides a front-row seat to the sunset over the Indochinese Peninsula. For the best views of the Guangxi karst formations, try to book a seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the unique terrain below.

Yellow Sea Coastline
Aerial views of the Qingdao peninsula and the busy shipping lanes of the Yellow Sea shortly after takeoff.
Yangtze River Mouth
The massive estuary of Asia's longest river where it meets the East China Sea near Shanghai.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake, which changes size dramatically based on the seasonal water levels.
Annamite Range
The rugged, forest-covered mountains marking the border regions of Laos and Vietnam.
Bangkok Suburbs
Dense industrial zones and residential grids of the Samut Prakan province on the final descent.
Select this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It is particularly scenic during the wet season (June-October) when the lakes and rivers of Southern China and the Khorat Plateau in Thailand are at their most vibrant and full.
