CAN → HJJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Zhijiang Airport (Zhijiang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta upon departure and a more direct look at the rugged Nanling Mountain peaks during the transition into Hunan.
Guangzhou CBD
A glimpse of the Canton Tower and the dense skyline of the Tianhe district shortly after takeoff.
Nanling Mountains
Aerial perspective of the primary mountain range separating the subtropical south from central China.
Hunan Agricultural Plains
A patchwork of rice paddies and rural village clusters in the Xiang River basin.
Zhijiang Basin
Scenic views of the lush, green hilly landscapes during the final descent into HJJ airport.
Morning flights on the right side provide excellent front-lit views of the Nanling peaks. Sit ahead of the wing for the clearest view of Guangzhou's skyline during the initial climb if the departure path heads north.
Western Pearl River Delta
View of the industrial corridors and waterways connecting Foshan and western Guangzhou.
Karst Formations
Limestone hills and dramatic geological features visible as the plane enters southern Hunan.
Yuan River
The winding river paths that carve through the mountainous terrain of western Hunan near the destination.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Hunan hills. Keep an eye out for the distinct karst topography during the middle third of the flight as you cross the provincial border.
