Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
💨

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.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏖️

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.
