Red River Delta
The intricate patchwork of rice paddies and irrigation canals surrounding Hanoi's southern outskirts.
Ninh Binh Karst
Dramatic limestone mountains and the 'Ha Long Bay on Land' scenery near Tam Coc and Trang An.
Gulf of Tonkin Coast
The meeting point of the Day River and the sea, featuring sediment plumes and coastal aquaculture.
Sam Son Beach
The famous long stretch of sand and the bustling coastal development of Thanh Hoa province.
Nghi Son Port
Views of the massive industrial complex and cargo ships anchored in the deep-water port area.
Sit on the left for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Gulf of Tonkin. This side is also better for spotting the unique karst mountains of Ninh Binh shortly after takeoff. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastal estuaries.

Cuc Phuong National Park
The dense, ancient rainforest canopy marking Vietnam's first national park on the border of Ninh Binh.
Ma River
The wide, winding Ma River as it snakes through the fertile plains of Thanh Hoa.
Annamite Range Foothills
Rolling green hills and the beginning of the rugged mountains that separate Vietnam and Laos.
North-South Railway
The slender thread of the historic Reunification Express track cutting through the landscape.
Chu River Basin
Large reservoirs and hydroelectric infrastructure nestled in the inland valleys.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the sea. Watch for the Ma River's distinct brown silt during the rainy season (June-October). If the flight takes a more inland path, this side offers better views of the dense forest covers.
