Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more scenic approach into Changsha, featuring the industrial landscape of Zhuzhou and a better view of the unique Danxia landforms near the Guangdong-Hunan border.
Conghua District
Lush green reservoirs and hills on the northern outskirts of the Guangzhou metropolitan area.
Danxia Landforms
Distinctive reddish sandstone cliffs and pillars near Shaoguan visible during the ascent.
Zhuzhou Industrial Hub
An aerial perspective of the massive rail and industrial infrastructure south of Changsha.
Changsha Eastern Approach
A panoramic view of the Maglev tracks and the expanding eastern suburbs of Changsha during landing.
Morning flights offer the best lighting on the red Danxia rock formations. This side typically provides a better view of the airport layout and the Changsha Maglev line during the final descent into CSX.
Nanling Mountains
Dense, forested peaks marking the natural border between Guangdong and Hunan provinces.
Hengyang City
A clear view of one of Hunan's major urban centers situated along the river.
Xiang River
The winding 'Mother River' of Hunan province snakes through the valley toward the north.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset reflecting off the Xiang River. During winter, look for occasional snow caps on the high peaks of the Nanling range.
