Which side of the plane to sit from Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo) to Macau International Airport (Macau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of mainland China's diverse topography, culminating in a spectacular aerial view of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the Macau skyline upon descent.
Siming Mountains
Rugged, green mountain ranges immediately visible after departing Ningbo Lishe Airport.
Wuyi Mountain Foothills
The plane traverses the edge of this UNESCO World Heritage site, offering views of dramatic peaks and tea plantations.
Pearl River Delta Megalopolis
The dense urban sprawl of Shenzhen and Dongguan becomes visible as you approach the destination.
HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
A magnificent view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge snaking across the Lingdingyang waters.
The Cotai Strip
As you land at MFM, you get a front-row seat to the massive, glowing casino resorts of Macau.
This is the 'money side' for this route. Sit here for the iconic view of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. For evening flights, the right side provides a stunning view of the illuminated Cotai Strip just moments before touchdown. Ensure your window is clean for photos of the bridge architecture.
East China Sea Coastline
Watch the transition from the muddy estuaries of Zhejiang to the deep blue of the East China Sea.
Taiwan Strait
On clear days, enjoy expansive views of the busy shipping lanes in the strait separating the mainland from Taiwan.
Xiamen Island
A glimpse of the coastal city of Xiamen and the famous pedestrian-only Gulangyu Island.
Wanshan Archipelago
Dozens of small islands dotting the South China Sea appear as the plane begins its final descent into Macau.
Choose this side during morning flights to see the sun rising over the Pacific horizon. It is also ideal for spotting large fishing fleets that congregate off the Fujian coast during the peak season.
