Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Da Nang International Airport (Danang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for this route because it offers a panoramic view of the Hong Kong skyline during departure and provides a stunning perspective of the Da Nang coastline, Son Tra Peninsula, and the city's famous white-sand beaches upon arrival.
Hong Kong Skyline
Dramatic views of Victoria Harbour and the dense skyscraper clusters of Hong Kong Island shortly after takeoff from HKG.
South China Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water dotted with cargo vessels and fishing boats in one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
Son Tra Peninsula
Also known as Monkey Mountain, this lush green headland is a landmark for the final approach into Da Nang.
My Khe Beach
An aerial view of the long, curved stretch of white sand that Da Nang is famous for, running all the way to Hoi An.
Marble Mountains
Five limestone outcrops rising abruptly from the coastal plain, visible just south of the city during the descent.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Da Nang coast. During the descent, look for the giant white Lady Buddha statue on the slopes of Son Tra Peninsula. If the plane approaches from the sea, you will get an incredible view of the Han River bridges.
HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge system is visible as you head southwest away from Hong Kong.
Lantau Island
A bird's-eye view of the Big Buddha and the rugged, mountainous terrain of Lantau right after rotation.
Hainan Island
During the mid-flight cruise, the eastern coastline of China's tropical island province can often be seen in the distance.
Hai Van Pass
The scenic mountain road that winds through the Annamite Range, offering a rugged contrast to the blue waters of the bay.
Da Nang Bay
The sheltered waters of the bay and the busy port area come into focus as the plane turns for its final descent.
The right side is excellent for seeing the engineering marvel of the Macau bridge system shortly after takeoff. If you are flying in the morning, this side provides beautiful soft light over the Truong Son mountains as you enter Vietnamese airspace. It is also the best side to spot the winding roads of the famous Hai Van Pass.
