MRU β†’ HKG

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior coastal views during the approach into Hong Kong, including the spectacular Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and Lantau Island, along with better chances of seeing the Andaman Islands.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Blue Bay Marine Park

Exquisite views of the southeast Mauritian coastline and the reef-protected waters near the airport.

🌴

Andaman Archipelago

Emerald green islands and white sand beaches of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal.

🌊

Gulf of Thailand

Coastal outlines of Southern Thailand and the transition into the South China Sea.

πŸ–οΈ

Vietnam Central Coast

Beautiful aerial perspectives of the coastline near Da Nang and the Marble Mountains.

πŸŒ‰

HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

The world's longest sea-crossing bridge is clearly visible on a standard approach to Runway 07L/R.

☸️

Tian Tan Buddha

The 'Big Buddha' on Lantau Island can often be spotted during the low-altitude final approach.

The right side is ideal for the iconic Hong Kong arrival. For the best photography, aim for a window seat away from the wing. Note that many flights on this route are overnight; try to secure a seat for the dawn arrival to see the South China Sea islands emerge in the light.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
πŸ–οΈ

Mauritius West Coast

Stunning views of the turquoise lagoons and coral reefs near Port Louis immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Equatorial Indian Ocean

Expansive views of deep blue waters and unique tropical cloud formations while crossing the equator.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Southern Subcontinent

Distal views of the southern tip of India or Sri Lanka depending on the specific seasonal airway.

⛰️

Annamite Range

Rugged, forest-clad mountain peaks stretching across the borders of Laos and Vietnam.

πŸ™οΈ

Guangdong Megacity

The massive urban sprawl and industrial heartland of the Pearl River Delta during the descent.

Choose the left side for better views of the sunset if your flight departs in the afternoon. On the final approach into HKG, if landing on Runway 07R, you may catch glimpses of the northern New Territories and Shenzhen skyline.
