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!

[@hyrenaj2888]

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!

[@Kostly]

Landing in HKG at night is wild. It can actually make you afraid for your life.

[@glassarthouse]

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.

[@tangatoto362]

Fabulous, the clearest views of Honk Kong I have ever seen, no heat haze, no pollution, amazing. Thank you .

[@demingma2004]

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!!

[@fatdice911]

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.

Dude, thanks for giving me my first trip to Hong Kong ! ! !

[@67rrob]

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.

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.

[@KevinJones-qw8xs]

Wow .I am so looking forward to flying into Hong Kong on my way to New Zealand . Great video and stunning views. Thank you.

[@turbofanlover]

The soothing sound of those gorgeous GE90s was the perfect accompaniment to this visual feast. :)

[@stephskia]

1:36 is beautiful, thanks for sharing 😁

[@ChrVoigt]

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.

[@alvexok5523]

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.

[@SKYSURFER974]

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

Thank you, great shots of the Island and Kowloon, hard to believe is real, not as spectacular as Kai Tak; but great nonetheless. Cheers.

[@canto_v12]

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!

[@darylmclean6398]

[@CROWOUTDOORS]

WOW! 12:00 through 14:00 was some absolutely amazing video! Always wondered what Hong Kong looked like. Great vid!

[@MTran0708]

amazing quality! thumbs up

[@MikeEgypte]

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.

[@Alongthongz83]

It waz lyk a paradise

[@alvexok5523]

How much time was there in the filming break between 6:09 and 6:10? It looks like it was at least several minutes judging by more islands being more prominently visible, and the engines being quiter. I've noticed when flying (and in this video) how much quieter the engines sound from inside the plane when descending compared to how they sounded at cruising altitude (such as the first few minutes of this video). I also wonder what the engines at cruising altitude power would sound like from outside the aircraft standing on the ground and seeing it passing by at about 1/4 to 1/2 of a kilometer overhead. Aircrafts sound loud enough from the outside at landing power, like for example when I'm leaving my parked car at the airport and I see a landing plane passing overhead (at about 1/4 to 1/2 kilometer, it seems). If a plane was passing that short of a distance overhead at cruising altitude power, it would probably break someone's eardrums and would leave them permanently deaf. Take-off power also sounds quieter from inside the aircraft than cruising altitude power does, and you know how loud planes taking off sound from the outside.

[@zazam3639]

Woww Beautiful.

[@chm0225]

Welcome to Hong Kong:)

[@neiljohnson7914]

what is the speed of the plane at the beginning of this video? Looks to be around 10 mph. But as the plane loses altitude its speed increases. It's going really fast when it touches down on the landing strip.
