CAN → HZH
Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Liping Airport (Liping)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the limestone karst formations in northern Guangxi and the traditional Dong minority architecture when descending into Liping.
Guangzhou Suburbs
Expansive views of the Baiyun and Huadu districts with the Pearl River system weaving through the urban landscape.
Yingde Karst Peaks
Sharp, dramatic limestone hills rising from the plains as you transition into northern Guangdong.
Guangxi Borderlands
The landscape transitions into lush, rolling mountains with deep green valleys and scattered rural settlements.
Traditional Dong Villages
As you descend towards HZH, look for the unique clusters of wooden buildings and the iconic drum towers of the Dong people.
Try to book a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the karst pillars. If flying in the late afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the mountain ridges. Watch for the 'Wind and Rain Bridges' near Liping—they are often visible from lower altitudes during final approach.
Nanling Range
Vistas of the southern slopes of the Nanling Mountains, featuring rugged peaks and dense forest cover.
Highland Reservoirs
Small, crystal-clear blue reservoirs tucked into the folds of the mountain valleys.
Engineering Marvels
See the impressive high-speed railway bridges and winding expressways that cut through the difficult Guizhou terrain.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It offers a broader view of the vast mountain ranges separating Guangdong from the interior provinces. Keep an eye out for the distinct terraced farming on the steeper slopes as you enter Guizhou airspace.
