Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Huangyan Luqiao Airport (Huangyan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular perspective of the southeastern Chinese coastline, the East China Sea, and the intricate island chains near Taizhou during the descent.
Pearl River Estuary
The vast opening of the Pearl River into the South China Sea shortly after departing Guangzhou.
Fujian Coastline
The rugged and winding coastline of Fujian, featuring numerous bays, ports, and white sand beaches.
East China Sea Traffic
Observe massive cargo ships and fishing fleets navigating the busy maritime lanes toward the Taiwan Strait.
Taizhou Archipelago
A stunning collection of islands including Dachen Island visible as the plane begins its descent into Huangyan.
Luqiao Coastal Plains
The final approach offers views of the fertile agricultural plains and dense canal networks typical of the Zhejiang coast.
The right side is superior for coastal enthusiasts. For morning flights, be prepared for bright sun reflection off the sea. During descent, look for the unique 'polder' landscape where land has been reclaimed from the sea for farming and industry.
Guangzhou Urban Spread
Aerial view of the sprawling metropolis of Guangzhou and the northern Pearl River Delta immediately after takeoff.
Nanling Mountains
Dense green ridges and valleys of the mountainous border between Guangdong and Fujian provinces.
Wuyi Mountain Vistas
Distant views of the iconic Wuyi mountain range, known for its dramatic peaks and deep river gorges.
Quanzhou and Fuzhou Periphery
The inland suburban expansion and industrial hubs of major Fujianese cities visible from cruising altitude.
Sunset Silhouettes
On late afternoon flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun setting over the mainland mountains.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight while enjoying the mountain silhouettes. It is particularly scenic during the golden hour when the inland rivers reflect the sky.
