Truong Son Mountains
The rugged, jungle-clad peaks of the Central Highlands stretching along the border.
Hue & Perfume River
A clear view of the winding Perfume River and the historic layout of the ancient imperial capital.
Tam Giang Lagoon
One of Southeast Asia's largest lagoon systems, appearing as a massive glassy mirror near the coast.
Ninh Binh Karsts
Dramatic limestone pillars rising from rice paddies, often called Ha Long Bay on Land.
Red River Delta
A dense patchwork of vibrant green rice fields and agricultural villages as you descend into Hanoi.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. As you fly north, watch for the transition from the rugged mountains to the flat, fertile plains of the north. Use a polarising filter if taking photos to cut through the haze often found over the Red River Delta.

Central Coastline
Continuous stretches of white sand beaches and turquoise waters between Tuy Hoa and Da Nang.
Ly Son Island
A distinct volcanic island located off the coast of Quang Ngai province, visible on clear days.
Da Nang & Son Tra
The urban sprawl of Da Nang meeting the lush, protruding greenery of the Son Tra Peninsula.
Gulf of Tonkin
Expansive views of the ocean dotted with fishing fleets and large cargo vessels approaching northern ports.
Choose the right side for late afternoon or sunset flights to enjoy the warm 'golden hour' light reflecting off the South China Sea. During the descent into Noi Bai, look for the complex network of river estuaries that define the northern Vietnamese coastline.
