Search flights from SGN to NNG
Central Vietnam Coast
Stunning views of the coastline near Da Nang, including the white sands and the Son Tra Peninsula.
Gulf of Tonkin
The deep blue expanse of the sea as the flight path skirts the coastline toward China.
Ha Long Bay (Distant)
On clear days, the iconic limestone pillars and islets of this UNESCO site are visible to the east.
Qinzhou Bay
Major shipping lanes and busy port infrastructure as you cross into Chinese airspace.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
The dramatic 'gumdrop' mountain formations that define the unique topography of southern China.
Book a window seat on the right for morning flights to see the sun rising over the South China Sea. Keep a close watch roughly 60-70 minutes into the flight for the transition from the Vietnamese coast to the karst formations near the border.

Cat Tien National Park
Lush tropical rainforest canopies visible shortly after departing the Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area.
Central Highlands
The rugged Truong Son mountain range with mist-filled valleys and deep green ridges.
Red River Delta
A complex tapestry of emerald rice paddies and winding river tributaries as the flight moves north.
Nanning Outskirts
Rapidly developing urban landscapes and industrial zones surrounding the capital of Guangxi.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to avoid the direct glare while still enjoying the silhouettes of the mountains. This side is also better for spotting the inland agricultural patterns of the northern Vietnamese provinces.
