Lantau Island
The green, mountainous terrain of Lantau and the Big Buddha can often be spotted just before touching down at HKG.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the eastern sun. It offers the most consistent land-based scenery and is superior for viewing the massive infrastructure projects in the Greater Bay Area during the final 20 minutes of flight.
