Guizhou Karst Plateau
A sea of limestone peaks and deep ravines immediately after departure from Bijie.
Northern Guangxi Massifs
Views of the rugged, high-altitude mountain ranges along the Guizhou-Guangxi border.
Beijiang River Valley
The winding path of the Beijiang as it cuts through the mountains toward the Pearl River.
Zhaoqing Dinghu Mountain
The lush green canopy of China's first nature reserve visible during the descent.
Guangzhou Northern Approach
An excellent view of the expansive Baiyun Airport terminal layout on certain landing patterns.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For morning flights (common on this route), the left side provides the best lighting for photography of the karst landscape without sun glare. Summer flights often provide the clearest views after seasonal rain showers clear the smog.

Red Earth Terraces
Patches of iron-rich red soil creating a vibrant patchwork quilt effect in the rural hills.
Wuzhou Confluence

Distant Canton Tower
On clear days with a southern approach, the iconic silhouette of the Canton Tower may be visible to the east.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Guangxi mountains. Watch for the dramatic transition from the jagged karst peaks to the flat, water-crisscrossed plains of the Pearl River Delta. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the dense urban views.
