Ha Long Bay
Aerial view of the stunning limestone karsts and emerald waters of Northern Vietnam about 15 minutes after takeoff.
Haiphong City
The major port city of Northern Vietnam, showcasing extensive maritime infrastructure and river networks.
Leizhou Peninsula
The southernmost tip of mainland China's Guangdong province as the flight crosses the Gulf of Tonkin.
Qiongzhou Strait
The narrow body of water separating Hainan Island from the Chinese mainland, often filled with cargo ships.
Tainan Coastline
Early glimpses of the western plains of Taiwan as the aircraft begins its descent into the Kaohsiung area.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while capturing the best views of Ha Long Bay. Keep your camera ready within the first 20 minutes of departure from Hanoi. During the winter months, clouds are common over the Gulf of Tonkin, so early morning flights offer the best visibility.

Red River Delta

Kaohsiung Harbor
A spectacular view of one of the world's largest container ports during the final approach into KHH.
85 Sky Tower
The landmark skyscraper of Kaohsiung is often visible as the plane banks for its final landing alignment.
Shoushan Mountain
Also known as Monkey Mountain, this green landmark overlooks the city and the Taiwan Strait near the airport.
The right side is the 'sunset side' for late afternoon flights, offering golden hour views over the South China Sea. This side is particularly rewarding during the landing phase, as it usually faces the Kaohsiung city center and the harbor as the plane approaches from the south or west.
