Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Dachuan Airport (Dazhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the transitioning terrain, featuring the dramatic karst landscapes of Shaoguan and the vast river networks of the Yangtze basin.
Shaoguan Danxia
Distinctive reddish rock formations and deep valleys visible shortly after departing the Pearl River Delta.
Xiang River
The winding silver thread of Hunan's primary waterway as it flows toward the Yangtze.
Yangtze Basin
Intricate networks of rivers and reservoirs that feed into the Three Gorges region to the east.
Daba Mountains
Stunning limestone ridges and deep green canyons that mark the entrance into the Sichuan Basin.
This side is ideal for morning departures to see the rivers reflecting early sunlight. Watch for the sharp transition from rolling hills to steep, forested limestone cliffs as the plane crosses into northeast Sichuan.
Nanling Ranges
High-altitude views of the lush, rugged natural border separating Guangdong from Hunan province.
Changsha Outskirts
Aerial perspective of the sprawling urban and industrial development in central Hunan.
Wuling Foothills
Distant glimpses of the jagged peaks that characterize the scenic Wuling mountain region.
Dazhou Arrival
Clear views of the Zhou River and the dense urban core of Dazhou during the final approach.
Select this side for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm sunset glow over the Hunan hills. During the summer months, keep an eye out for dramatic storm cell formations over the mountainous terrain.
