Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the sprawling Pearl River Delta, the rugged coastline of Southern China, and a stunning aerial perspective of the northern Taichung coastline upon approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Lantau Island Peaks

Aerial views of the Tian Tan Buddha and the lush green ridges of Lantau South Country Park immediately after takeoff.

🌉

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

A clear view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Lingdingyang channel.

🏙️

Shenzhen Skyline

The dense skyscraper clusters of the Futian and Nanshan districts visible across the border.

🌊

Dapeng Peninsula

Dramatic cliffs and secluded bays along the eastern edge of the Pearl River Delta.

🏖️

Taiwan Strait Coastline

The western shoreline of Taiwan, featuring fish ponds and wetlands as the plane begins its descent into RMQ.

For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the Chinese coastline without the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the distinctive fish farms along the Fujian and Taiwan coasts which look like shimmering grids from above.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Victoria Harbour

Depending on the departure runway, you may see the iconic skyline of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon to the east.

🏝️

Lamma and Po Toi Islands

The tranquil southern islands of Hong Kong and the high-speed ferry lanes cutting through the South China Sea.

🚢

South China Sea Shipping Lanes

Dozens of cargo ships and tankers anchored or transiting one of the world's busiest maritime routes.

🏢

Taichung Urban Basin

A sweeping view of Taichung's dense urban layout and the surrounding hills during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for morning flights (08:00–11:00) to avoid direct sunlight. During the approach into Taichung, look for the tall residential towers and the Central Mountain Range emerging in the distant background if the weather is clear. Note that haze over the Taiwan Strait is common, so higher contrast filters on cameras can help capture the landscape.
