Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Baise Youjiang Airport (Baise)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of Guangxi's world-famous karst topography and the rugged Dayao Mountain range as you fly westward.
Guangzhou North
Views of the northern outskirts of Guangzhou and the surrounding Baiyun mountain districts.
Dayao Mountains
Dense forest-covered peaks and rugged ridges of central Guangxi's major mountain range.
Hechi Karst Field
Spectacular and dense clusters of limestone towers that characterize the region's unique geography.
Youjiang River
The winding turquoise waters of the Youjiang River cutting through the limestone canyons.
Limestone Gorges
Sharp vertical cliffs and deep green valleys visible during the final descent into Baise.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while photographing the mountains. This side provides the best view of the signature 'Guilin-style' karst towers that become increasingly dense as you approach the west. Look for the contrast between the sharp peaks and the flat river valleys below.
Pearl River Delta
Aerial views of the massive urban sprawl and intricate canal networks of Foshan and Guangzhou.
Dinghu Mountain
A glimpse of the lush greenery and ancient forests of Zhaoqing's famous nature reserve.
Xi Jiang Valley
The wide, meandering West River flowing through the hills toward the South China Sea.
Southern Karst Peaks
The beginning of the limestone landscape with scattered tower-like hills appearing mid-flight.
Baise Basin Approach
Flat agricultural plains and river bends as the aircraft descends into the Youjiang valley.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Guangxi hills. On departure from Guangzhou, this side often provides a broader view of the Pearl River's southern reaches. Keep an eye out for the vast industrial landscapes of the delta transitioning into rural hills.
