Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Macau International Airport (Macau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Fujian coastline, the massive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and the iconic casino-studded skyline of Macau during the final approach.
Fujian Coastline
Rugged coastal features and mountainous terrain of mainland China visible across the strait.
HZMB Bridge
A stunning view of the 55km Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and its artificial islands.
Macau Cotai Strip
The massive, brightly lit casino resorts including The Venetian and Wynn Palace on the approach.
Macau Tower
The landmark tower and the Three Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridges connecting the peninsula.
Jiuzhou Port
A glimpse into Zhuhai's busy ferry terminals and the evolving skyline of mainland China.
Sit on the right for the most iconic approach. For night flights, this side offers a spectacular view of the neon-lit Cotai Strip. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the bridge during descent.
Taiwan West Coast
Clear views of Taiwan's urbanized western corridor including Hsinchu and Taichung shortly after takeoff.
Penghu Islands
The distinctive basalt island chain scattered in the Taiwan Strait is often visible from mid-flight.
Lantau Island
Views of Hong Kong's mountainous Lantau Island and the busy Chek Lap Kok International Airport.
Pearl River Estuary
The expansive waters where the Pearl River meets the South China Sea, filled with cargo ships.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the natural geography of Taiwan's coast and the outlying islands of Hong Kong during the descent.
