CANBHY

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side offers a superior coastal panorama, featuring the sprawling Pearl River Delta, the South China Sea coastline, and a scenic entry over the Beibu Gulf.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Pearl River Delta Sprawl

Aerial views of the massive urban corridor connecting Foshan, Jiangmen, and the western fringes of the PRD.

🌊

South China Sea Coastline

Stunning views of the rugged shoreline, sandy bays, and coastal islands along Guangdong's western wing.

🚢

Zhanjiang Port Activity

A major maritime hub with visible cargo ships and naval vessels stationed in the strategic southern waters.

🏝️

Leizhou Peninsula

The narrowing land mass leading toward Hainan Island, showcasing a mix of red soil and tropical greenery.

🚤

Beibu Gulf Approach

Clear views of the shallow, turquoise waters and traditional fishing fleets as the plane descends into Beihai.

Sit on the Left Side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides the best view of the coast during the cruise phase. During the final approach to BHY, look for the silver beach (Yintan) stretching along the horizon if the flight path tracks from the south.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
⛰️

Guangdong Highlands

Rolling hills and dense subtropical forests characterizing the inland geography of western Guangdong.

🚣

West River (Xi Jiang)

The winding path of the Pearl River's main western tributary cutting through the mountainous terrain.

🏭

Maoming Industrial Landscape

Large-scale petrochemical facilities and urban clusters visible as the flight path moves inland.

🌾

Guangxi Plains

Extensive agricultural patchwork and rural settlements as you enter the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

🌅

Sunset Horizon

During late afternoon flights, this side offers a spectacular view of the sun setting over the inland mountains.

The Right Side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Guangxi hills. While less coastal, it offers a more 'green' perspective of the region's topography. Keep an eye out for the distinct karst-like limestone formations that occasionally appear near the Guangxi border.
