CAN → AQG
Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Anqing Tianzhushan Airport (Anqing)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic mountain scenery, including the famous Lushan National Park and the granite peaks of Tianzhushan during the descent.
Nanling Mountain Range
Rugged, forested peaks forming the natural border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.
Lushan National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its spiritual significance and mist-covered sheer cliffs.
Jiujiang Urban Area
A clear view of the city where the Yangtze River meets the northern tip of Poyang Lake.
Yangtze River Bends
The winding 'Golden Waterway' as it meanders through the plains of southern Anhui.
Tianzhu Mountain
Striking granite pillars and deep valleys that serve as the namesake for Anqing's airport.
Choose the left side for superior mountain views. Early morning flights often provide the best visibility of Lushan's peaks before clouds roll in. During the descent into AQG, keep your camera ready for the dramatic rock formations of Tianzhushan located to the northwest of the airport.
Guangzhou CBD
Excellent views of the Canton Tower and the Pearl River skyline shortly after takeoff from CAN.
Wanlu Lake
A massive, emerald-green reservoir in Heyuan known for its crystal clear water and 360 islands.
Poyang Lake
The largest freshwater lake in China, featuring vast wetlands that change significantly with the seasons.
Nanchang Skyline
Distant views of the Gan River and the high-rises of Jiangxi's capital city.
Yangtze River Traffic
Observe the intense maritime activity with hundreds of cargo vessels navigating the river near Anqing.
The right side is best for observing China's water systems. Poyang Lake is a highlight; in winter, you can see the receding water levels exposing unique grassland patterns. Note that afternoon flights will have direct sun on this side, which can make photography difficult due to glare.
