Which side of the plane to sit from Macau International Airport (Macau) to Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the best views of the iconic Macau Cotai Strip during departure and provides a stunning panoramic view of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range upon the final approach into Taichung.
Macau Cotai Strip
Aerial view of the massive integrated resorts and casinos including The Londoner and Venetian.
Zhuhai Skyline
Clear sightlines of the neighboring mainland Chinese city and its developing waterfront.
Penghu Islands
A cluster of volcanic islands in the Taiwan Strait with distinctive basalt formations visible from high altitude.
Central Mountain Range
The dramatic, jagged peaks of Taiwan's backbone rising behind the Taichung city basin.
Taichung Cityscape
Views of the dense urban grid and high-rises as the plane turns toward the runway.
Choose this side for morning flights to keep the sun on the opposite side of the aircraft. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from MFM, as the turn often frames the casino resorts perfectly. During the descent, the mountain views are most spectacular during the clear autumn and winter months.
HZMB Bridge
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, a marvel of engineering spanning the Pearl River Delta.
Lantau Island
Distant views of Hong Kong's largest island, including its mountainous interior.
Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the busy shipping lanes connecting the South and East China Seas.
Taichung Port
The industrial heart of the region with massive cargo ships and colorful container terminals.
Gaomei Wetlands
A scenic coastal area known for its wind turbines and diverse ecosystem just north of the port.
The right side is ideal for spotting the world's longest sea-crossing bridge shortly after departure. Be aware that afternoon flights will experience significant sun glare on this side. As you land at RMQ, look for the giant white wind turbines along the coastline which are a signature sight of the Taichung approach.
