Which side of the plane to sit from Vladivostok International Airport (Vladivostok) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it follows the coastline of the Korean Peninsula and tracks the densely populated and geographically diverse eastern coast of Mainland China, offering views of major deltas and mountain ranges.
Korean Peninsula
Rugged mountain ranges and dramatic coastline visible shortly after departure.
Shanghai Delta
The meeting of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea near Ningbo.
Fujian Coast
Intricate shorelines, hidden bays, and the mountainous terrain of South China.
Shenzhen Skyline
A spectacular view of one of the world's most modern urban landscapes on approach.
Sea Bridges
The massive infrastructure connecting the Pearl River Delta cities visible during landing.
Choose the right side for morning flights to see the Korean coast clearly without glare. Keep an eye out for the massive urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta and the impressive engineering of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge during the descent.
Sea of Japan
Deep blue waters immediately after takeoff from Russia's Far East coast.
Taiwan Range
High mountain peaks visible on clear days while crossing the East China Sea.
Maritime Traffic
Massive cargo ships and tankers entering the busy waters near Hong Kong.
Wanshan Archipelago
Picturesque islands scattered in the South China Sea during the final descent.
Morning Light
Beautiful lighting over the open Pacific for early morning departures.
Opt for the left side on late afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun. Look out for the silhouette of the Taiwan mountains across the strait and the transition to the subtropical islands of the South China Sea.
