As a Hongkonger and flightsimmer myself, I never knew the approach to VHHH can be so absolutely stunning! Almost all the most spectacular POIs are clearly visible during the journey! Thanks for sharing indeed!!
Great video. Its not always so easy to film this approach and landing. Because it depends on luck (out of your control), specifically: 1. The plane has to land from the East (when its more common to land from the West with a more boring/less scenic approach over the Pearl River Delta). 2. The weather has to be clear enough to have great visibility 3. You have to on the "correct" side of the aircraft. So, all in all, great video!
even if it lands from the west, you do still come out over the ocean, but i agree that it's only coming in from the east that gives you the views over Ma On Shan, the Sai Kung Peninsula and the Northern New territories.
Thank you. You may like also this video: th-cam.com/video/cRDl-MRLI2E/w-d-xo.html It is the same flight, but taken with another comers, in the last part the approach is complete from sunrise. Hope you will like it also.

YOU ARE KILLING ME!!!! I've been living in HK for more than 30 years...but haven't discovered my home is such amazing!!! thank you so much to make me love this city again!
I flew out of Hong Kong one time just right after dusk, with a thunderstorm approaching and lightning everywhere. It was a sight to behold. Never been so close to lightning before. It was scary and yet beautiful at the same time.

Yeah - the Cathay Pacific pilot must have chosen this city flight tour to convince everybody that HK's magnificant scenery is/was unparalleled together with Vancouver - remember having spent two weeks in HK for hiking. Wonderful video (especially 6:00mins to 11:30mins), thanks for sharing.

The Airport is located on the Lantau Island, and the scenery is the most beautiful in Hong Kong. Gosh i really miss Hong Kong. Thanks for filming this.
i watched your video so many times and this time ok i decide to make my dream come true here we go i take a plane in april 2019 to visit my favorite and sweet hongkong for one Week imagine what i feel
Boy I wish the pilot or his crew would have an in house radio station you could plug into where someone was telling you about the islands and sea you ae flying over--just like in a movie. And folks at 6:14 you are starting to come under the clouds and see the islands up close. At 7:52 Is that the first view of Hong Kong bay? Maybe there is no Hong Kong Bay--but there is Kowoon, Sandy, Mirs, and waterfall Bays. Which ones will we see here as we land? Man has made many straight lines, vertical and horizontal, but all around are the irregular shapes of nature they you may forget as you walk the streets of the city. And at 10:20 we start to see the coves and inlets tucked awy into the hills. And then we appear to be climbing a bit as we go overland--searching for the rinway in the distance. Once again above the clouds but now over the main part of Hong Kong, sneaking through the clouds. And then the entire city surrounds you left and right as it looks like you are going down to land on Kowloon bay. The waters seem so still as we nervously sink down below the hills and can almost see the people on the trawlers below headed out to sea to fish, or transport commodities destined for far away places, or maybe much closer, Da Nang, Thailand perhaps. At 17:21 a perfect landing, as perfect as you knew it would be, but the video goes for another 3 minutes, I'm excited there is more to see. Ok fans w are here safely, time to disembark--I hope you have a onder time in Hong Kong. Come back and tell your stories for me to read as I have subscribed for updates.
Hong Kong doesn't really look that big, such as seeing it from the window at around 7:50. It looks like it covers much smaller of an area than Los Angeles does. But after thinking about it for another minute, I realized that it looks like Hong Kong has many more tall skyscrapers than L.A. has. L.A. is much more spread out and covers much bigger of an area, but doesn't have nearly as many tall skyscrapers. As I saw at a closer view, Hong Kong has many many towers all very very close together, many which look about 50 stories or higher. Hong Kong has just as big of a population, maybe more, than L.A., but Hong Kong is much more vertical. Hong Kong also seems to cover a smaller area than neighboring Chinese cities Dongguan and Ghangzhou, yet Hong Kong is just as populated as they are simply because Hong Kong has more taller skyscrapers (Hong Kong has more sights and entertainment to offer tourists than those other two cities as well). Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.
Every Hong kong lover must see that loving video. So great work Settime2588. Really very beautiful views. Proud to live in one of best countries in the world, HONG KONG

This is super beautiful! Those, colours, clouds... and the beautiful HKG scenery
As a Hongkonger and flightsimmer myself, I never knew the approach to VHHH can be so absolutely stunning! Almost all the most spectacular POIs are clearly visible during the journey! Thanks for sharing indeed!!
Fabulous, the clearest views of Honk Kong I have ever seen, no heat haze, no pollution, amazing. Thank you .
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow that was beautiful. Makes me really anxious to go back to HK again soon!
Great video. Its not always so easy to film this approach and landing. Because it depends on luck (out of your control), specifically:

2. The weather has to be clear enough to have great visibility
3. You have to on the "correct" side of the aircraft.
So, all in all, great video!
Don't forget the appropriate time of the day which can change the atmosphere (and quality, if you don't have a good camera) significantly!
Landing in HKG at night is wild. It can actually make you afraid for your life.
even if it lands from the west, you do still come out over the ocean, but i agree that it's only coming in from the east that gives you the views over Ma On Shan, the Sai Kung Peninsula and the Northern New territories.
I've seen many viddys of approach into HK, but this one is clearly the best. Thanks for the up, and for all the vids on your channel.

I agree Andrew, the best by far. I've seen a lot of them, this one is such a marvel!
Good heavens this is in another league. By far the best HKG approach I have ever watched.
Thank you.

My Home. Fantastic footage.
Emma Taylor how come your cold Emma if your Asian
@@timothywait9457 Hi Timothy - I do not understand your question?
Thank you, great shots of the Island and Kowloon, hard to believe is real, not as spectacular as Kai Tak; but great nonetheless. Cheers.
Kai Tak was awesome for all the wrong reasons--especially for a major international city. I'm glad it's gone but what a ride it was!
13:00 ..amazing video
Wonderful video!
Magnificent quality! I just love to fly...... :-) !
I'm going to Hong Kong on June 2019. I can't wait that my summer holiday begins.
Have a pleasant ttip to HK

Welcome to Hong Kong:)
I always got sick on either the flight to or from HKG. Now, I wear a mask if I'm close to people.
Great video. Thank you for posting it. What camera did you use?
Thank you!

That is excellent bird views of Hong Kong just after sunrise and I recommend it to anyone who is planning to go there - so well done to settime2588!!
You don't need to be a photographer in Hong Kong. You just need a camera. Point and shoot and you will have a beautiful photograph, guaranteed.
