On specific flight paths into HKG, the left side can catch glimpses of the dense urban center of Hong Kong Island.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, ensuring better visibility of the Fujian coastline. It is also the preferred side for viewing the high-density urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta's eastern bank.
