Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Fuyang Xiguan Airport (Fuyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers prime viewing of major water systems, including the massive Poyang Lake and a spectacular crossing of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Pearl River Tributaries
Complex network of rivers and streams that feed into the Pearl River Delta shortly after takeoff.
Poyang Lake Basin
Distant but expansive views of China's largest freshwater lake and its surrounding wetlands in Jiangxi.
Yangtze River Crossing
A dramatic view of the Yangtze River as it winds through the plains near the border of Jiangxi and Anhui.
Hefei Outskirts
In the distance, the growing skyline of Anhui's capital and the large Chao Lake may be visible on clear days.
The right side is the 'water side' of this route. Morning flights offer the best lighting for seeing the reflection of the Yangtze River. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the transition from the mountainous south to the river-rich plains of central China. Seasonal floods in summer can make the water bodies appear significantly larger and more dramatic.
Guangzhou Suburbs
Aerial perspective of the dense urban sprawl and industrial parks in northern Guangzhou during departure.
Nanling Mountains
Rugged, verdant mountain terrain marking the border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.
Dabie Mountains
Impressive ridges and deep valleys of the Dabie range as the flight enters central Anhui.
Huai River Plain
The transition into the flat, patchwork agricultural landscape characteristic of northern Anhui.
For afternoon flights, the left side is preferable to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the best mountain textures. During the descent into Fuyang, look for the intricate irrigation networks and small farming villages that define the region's geography.
