The Cotai Strip
Exceptional views of Macau's major resorts and the Venetian during the descent into the airport.
Macau Tower

The right side is essential for viewing the Macau city skyline. For night flights, this side offers a dazzling view of the neon-lit casinos. During the day, keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight as the plane descends over the water for a view of the HZMB bridge and the artificial islands of the airport. Be aware that the Pearl River Delta can be hazy in winter, which may reduce visibility of distant features.

Pearl River Estuary

Shenzhen Skyline
On clear days, the massive skyscraper clusters of Shenzhen and Hong Kong are visible on the distant horizon.
Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the expansive industrial scale of the Pearl River Delta. This side is better during morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while looking south. Watch for the dramatic change from the brown mountains of Yunnan to the lush green hills of Guangxi.
