Which side of the plane to sit from Taiyuan Wusu Airport (Taiyuan) to Macau International Airport (Macau)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Yellow River and provides the most iconic views of the Macau skyline and the Cotai Strip during the final approach.
Yellow River
Views of the sediment-rich waters near the Sanmenxia Reservoir on the Shanxi-Henan border.
Nanling Mountains
Lush forested peaks and deep valleys marking the transition into Southern China.
Macau Tower
A clear view of the city's most recognizable landmark during the final turn for landing.
Cotai Strip
Spectacular aerial views of the massive casino resorts and the Parisian Eiffel Tower replica.
The right side is essential for the best landing views. If the flight lands from the south on Runway 34, you will get a panoramic view of the Cotai Strip casinos; if from the north on Runway 16, you will see the historic Macau Peninsula.
Taihang Mountains
Dramatic views of the rugged eastern ridges of the Loess Plateau shortly after takeoff.
Yangtze River
A grand crossing of China's longest river as the flight passes over Hubei province.
Pearl River Delta
The sprawling urban landscape of the Guangdong manufacturing heartland during descent.
HZMB Bridge
The massive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge spanning the estuary as you approach the coast.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side is better for seeing the sheer scale of the urbanization in the Pearl River Delta as you transition from rural central China.
