Left Side Highlights
8.5
🎰

Macau Cotai Strip

A stunning view of the dense casino complexes and urban landscape immediately after takeoff from MFM.

🌊

Gulf of Tonkin

Expansive views of the turquoise waters as the flight crosses the sea toward the Vietnamese coast.

⛰️

Ha Long Bay

The iconic limestone karsts and emerald waters of the bay are clearly visible during the descent phase.

🚢

Hai Phong Port

A detailed view of one of Vietnam's busiest maritime hubs and the surrounding river networks.

🌾

Red River Delta

A patchwork of vibrant green rice paddies and agricultural canals leading into the Hanoi metropolitan area.

Seat yourself ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Ha Long Bay during the final 20 minutes of the flight. Morning flights are ideal for this route as the sun is positioned behind the plane, illuminating the coastal scenery without creating a glare on the window.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🌉

HZMB Bridge

The massive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge spanning the Pearl River Delta is visible shortly after departure.

🏙️

Zhanjiang Coastline

Views of the southern tip of the Leizhou Peninsula and the urban development of Zhanjiang.

🏔️

Southern Chinese Mountains

The rugged, forested terrain of southern Guangdong and Guangxi provinces during the mid-flight cruise.

🏘️

Hanoi Suburbs

The sprawling residential areas and industrial zones on the northern outskirts of the capital city.

✈️

Noi Bai Approach

A clear view of the airport infrastructure and runway layout during the final approach.

The right side is better for viewing the engineering marvel of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. If traveling in the late afternoon, this side may be subject to direct sunlight, so keep the window shade partially down to prevent cabin heat and eye strain.
