KHH β MFM
Which side of the plane to sit from Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung) to Macau International Airport (Macau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Western Taiwan coastline, the Penghu archipelago, and the dense urban landscape of Zhuhai and Macau during the final descent.
Taiwan West Coast
The lagoons, salt pans, and wetlands of Tainan are often visible during the initial climb.
Penghu Islands
Look north to spot the distinct basaltic formations of the Penghu archipelago in the distance.
Pearl River Estuary
Witness the heavy maritime traffic of container ships entering and exiting the Guangdong region.
Zhuhai Skyline
Clear views of the modern waterfront developments and the 'Lover's Road' in Zhuhai.
Macau Cotai Strip
Aerial views of the massive casino resorts and the Macau Tower as the plane aligns with the runway.
Choose the right side for the most iconic views of the Macau skyline during the approach. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you, providing better lighting for photography. If the plane circles before landing, you may get an overhead view of the HZMB artificial islands.
Kaohsiung Harbor
A panoramic view of Taiwan's largest port and the Cijin District shortly after takeoff.
South China Sea
Expansive vistas of the turquoise waters as the plane traverses the Taiwan Strait.
Wanshan Archipelago
Clusters of rugged islands scattered across the southern entrance of the Pearl River Delta.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge visible as it connects the eastern and western delta.
Sit on the left for the best view of Kaohsiung's industrial docks immediately after departure. During landing at MFM, this side typically faces the open water and the southern tips of the islands. Afternoon flights on this side avoid direct sunlight glare.
