Book an afternoon flight to keep the sun on the opposite side of the aircraft, ensuring better lighting for photos of the Vietnam coast. The most iconic landmarks like the Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang usually appear about 2.5 hours into the flight. During the final 20 minutes, the rugged terrain of Fujian is exceptionally beautiful if the cloud cover is low.

The right side is ideal for sunrise flights if you enjoy watching the sun emerge over the Pacific horizon. While mostly oceanic, it provides a clearer view of the Matsu Islands and the intricate coastline of Fuzhou Changle's seaside location during the landing phase. If the flight path takes a more easterly route, you might spot distant views of the Paracel Islands.
