Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏘️

Kinmen Islands

A unique look at these Taiwan-controlled islands located strikingly close to the skyline of Xiamen, China.

🚢

Fujian Coastline

The rugged and highly developed coastline of mainland China, showcasing the massive urbanization of the Pearl River Delta region.

🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

The world's longest sea-crossing bridge, visible as a massive white thread connecting the three major cities below.

⛰️

Lantau Peak

The dramatic mountains of Lantau Island, including views of the Big Buddha statue nestled in the hills on clear days.

✈️

HKIA Three-Runway System

An overview of the massive land reclamation projects and the sophisticated layout of Hong Kong International Airport.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Pearl River Delta. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight for the bridge. If landing on Runway 07L, you'll be treated to a close-up view of the Lantau mountains and the airport's impressive infrastructure.

Left Side Highlights

🏖️

Taiwan's Western Plains

Aerial views of the densely populated western corridor of Taiwan, including Taichung and Tainan's coastal landscape.

🏝️

Penghu Archipelago

The stunning collection of volcanic islands in the Taiwan Strait, known for their unique basalt formations and sandy beaches.

🌊

South China Sea

Vast ocean vistas often dotted with large cargo ships and fishing vessels navigating the international shipping lanes.

🏞️

Lamma Island

A clear view of the island's three iconic power station chimneys and its rugged, green topography during approach.

🏙️

Hong Kong Island South

Views of the luxury coastline, including Repulse Bay and the Ocean Park cable cars if the flight path tracks south.

Choose the left side for morning flights to minimize solar glare. This side is the best for spotting the Penghu Islands roughly 25 minutes after departure. If the aircraft approaches HKG from the south (Runway 07), you will have an excellent view of the southern beaches and outskirts of the city.
