Xiamen Cityscape

Excellent views of Xiamen's modern skyscrapers and the unique architecture of the Yanwu Bridge during departure.

Dense, mist-shrouded tropical rainforests and rugged mountain ridges spanning the border of Vietnam and Laos.

Mekong River Crossing

A highlight of the trip, watching the massive Mekong River wind its way through the lush landscape of the Indochina Peninsula.

Khorat Plateau

The geometric patterns of rice paddies and agricultural land in Northeastern Thailand create a vibrant patchwork quilt effect.

Vast stretches of turquoise water and occasional views of cargo ships in the busy shipping lanes below.

Da Nang Coastline

Beautiful views of the Son Tra Peninsula and the white sandy beaches of central Vietnam as the plane enters Indochina.

Tonle Sap Distant View

On a clear day, the vast expanse of Cambodia's Great Lake can be seen reflecting the sun to the south.
