Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the major river systems including the Youjiang and Xijiang, along with a more comprehensive panorama of the Pearl River Delta's urban expansion during the descent into Guangzhou.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Youjiang River Bends

Follow the winding path of the Youjiang River as it snakes through the valley floor near Baise.

🚜

Subtropical Farmland

A vibrant patchwork of fruit orchards and rice paddies that fill the gaps between the hills.

🚢

Xijiang Waterway

The massive Pearl River artery becomes visible mid-flight, often dotted with long chains of industrial barges.

🏗️

Foshan Urban Core

Aerial perspective of the massive industrial and residential density of Foshan just before landing.

🌉

Pearl River Delta Network

The complex system of canals, bridges, and highways that characterize the approach into CAN.

Sit on the right for the best sunlight reflections off the river systems during afternoon flights. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight to capture the immense scale of the Pearl River Delta's infrastructure.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Baise Karst Peaks

Dense clusters of limestone karst mountains immediately visible after takeoff from Youjiang Airport.

🌲

Northern Guangxi Uplands

Rugged, forested mountain ranges that define the border regions between Guangxi and Guizhou.

🌫️

Misty Valleys

Early morning flights often reveal a thick 'sea of clouds' trapped between the jagged mountain peaks.

🏙️

Guangzhou Northern Sprawl

The transition from rural hills to the dense high-rise residential blocks of northern Guangzhou.

Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the sharp karst topography during the initial climb. Early morning flights are best for atmospheric lighting over the northern mountains.
