Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a spectacular view of the Pearl River Estuary's vastness and the dramatic bridge architecture of the Greater Bay Area during the descent into Shenzhen.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Wumeng Mountains

Rugged mountainous terrain and high-altitude peaks visible shortly after departing from Bijie Feixiong Airport.

🛶

Xijiang River

The massive 'West River' artery winding through the landscape of western Guangdong as you exit the mountains.

⛰️

Seven Star Crags

Famous karst peaks located near Zhaoqing which mark the transition into the Pearl River Delta flatlands.

🌊

Pearl River Estuary

The vast expanse where the Pearl River meets the South China Sea, featuring heavy maritime traffic.

🌉

Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link

A stunning view of the enormous bridge and tunnel system currently connecting the two sides of the bay.

Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Guizhou mountains. Be ready as the descent begins, as the transition from rugged karst mountains to the massive urban estuary is the absolute highlight of the flight; keep your camera ready for the coastal engineering projects near SZX.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
⛰️

Guizhou Karst Plateau

Distinctive limestone formations and deep valleys typical of the Bijie region visible shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Guiyang Metropolitan Area

The expanding urban footprint and skyscrapers of Guizhou's provincial capital seen from the northern outskirts.

🏘️

Guangxi Rural Valleys

Lush green agricultural valleys nestled between steep limestone hills as you cross into the Guangxi region.

🏙️

Guangzhou Skyline

Distant but clear views of the iconic Canton Tower and CBD skyscrapers if the flight path tracks north of the city.

🏭

Dongguan Industrial Zones

The massive scale of the 'World's Factory' with dense urban development visible just before the final descent.

Choose a seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the karst terrain. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind the plane, lighting the landscape and cityscapes perfectly without glare.
