RMQ → HKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung) to Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for observing the Mainland China coastline, the massive urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta, and a bird's-eye view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge during the approach to HKG.
Offshore Wind Farms
Clusters of wind turbines located off the coast of Taiwan, visible early in the flight.
Shenzhen Skyline
The impressive cluster of skyscrapers in the Nanshan and Futian districts of Shenzhen as the plane enters the Pearl River Delta.
HKZM Bridge
The iconic Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, featuring its unique winding structure and artificial islands, is clearly visible on descent.
Airport Reclamation
Detailed views of the ongoing Three-Runway System expansion and the artificial islands supporting Hong Kong International Airport.
Pearl River Estuary
Watch the muddy waters of the Pearl River meet the clear blue sea, creating a distinct color line in the water.
The right side is the definitive choice for aviation and architecture fans. For the best views of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, choose a window seat behind the wing. Afternoon flights offer dramatic golden hour lighting over the Pearl River Delta, but be prepared for some glare from the west-facing window.
Changhua Coastline
Aerial views of the wetlands and industrial coastal zones of western Taiwan shortly after takeoff from Taichung.
Taiwan Strait
A vast expanse of blue water where you can spot numerous cargo ships navigating one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Lantau South
If the flight approaches from the south, you will see the rugged green peaks of Lantau Island and the beaches of Pui O.
Big Buddha
On specific flight paths, the Tian Tan Buddha statue may be visible nestled in the mountains of Ngong Ping.
Sit on the left if you prefer a morning flight with less direct sunlight and wish to see the southern islands of Hong Kong. It provides a more serene, nature-focused view of the outlying islands like Lamma and Cheung Chau during the final descent into the airport.
