Which side of the plane to sit from Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung) to Macau International Airport (Macau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the mainland Chinese coastline, the sprawling urban landscapes of the Pearl River Delta, and a spectacular perspective of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge upon arrival.
Western Taiwan Coast
Views of the industrial and coastal landscape of Taichung and Changhua immediately after departure.
Hong Kong Skyline
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of Lantau Island and the New Territories are visible to the north.
HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge, appearing as a massive white thread connecting the three major cities.
Cotai Strip
The 'Las Vegas of the East' with its massive, brightly lit casino resorts including The Venetian and Londoner.
Guangdong Coastline
The rugged, indented coastline of southern China with numerous bays and mountainous peninsulas.
HK International Airport
Chek Lap Kok airport is often visible as you pass to the south of Lantau Island.
This is the premier side for photography. For the best views of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, look out about 15 minutes before landing. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mainland coast and bridge perfectly. Sit slightly behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Cotai Strip casinos.
Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the deep blue waters separating Taiwan from mainland China shortly after takeoff.
Wanshan Archipelago
A cluster of over 100 rugged islands scattered across the South China Sea south of the Pearl River.
Macau Tower
The iconic 338-meter landmark is often visible during the final descent and turn toward the runway.
South China Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted maritime views which are particularly stunning during late afternoon flights as the sun begins to set.
Maritime Traffic
High-density shipping lanes featuring massive cargo vessels entering the Pearl River Delta ports.
Choose this side if you want to avoid direct sunlight during afternoon flights. It offers better views of the open ocean and the isolated islands south of Macau. On a clear day, look for the distinct silhouette of the Macau Tower during the final approach pattern.
