Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for viewing the transition from Taiwan's rugged southern coast to the iconic mountainous islands surrounding Hong Kong.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Tainan-Kaohsiung Corridor

Aerial view of the industrial and residential heart of southern Taiwan shortly after takeoff.

🏖️

Pingtung Shoreline

Coastal views of Taiwan's southern reaches before heading into the South China Sea.

⛰️

Lantau Island

Lush green peaks and the potential to spot the Tian Tan Buddha during the southern approach.

🌊

South China Sea

A vast blue expanse that serves as a major global shipping lane for international vessels.

Book a window seat on the left for morning departures to minimize glare. During the descent into HKG, keep your eyes peeled for the Big Buddha on Lantau Island if the plane approaches from the south.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏝️

Penghu Archipelago

The volcanic island chain in the Taiwan Strait known for its distinctive basalt columns.

🌉

HZMB Bridge

The massive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge winding across the estuary like a dragon.

🎰

Macau Skyline

Distinctive views of the Macau Tower and the Cotai Strip casinos in the distance.

🚢

Pearl River Estuary

One of the world's busiest maritime zones with constant vessel traffic and artificial islands.

Perfect for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the sea. The HZMB bridge is best viewed in the final 5-10 minutes before landing at HKG when the plane aligns with the runway.
