Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Lianyungang Airport (Lianyungang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of China's interior landmarks, including the famous Lushan Mountain range and a clear perspective of the Yangtze River crossing.
Guangzhou Metropolis
Panoramic views of the Pearl River winding through the dense urban sprawl of Guangzhou during initial ascent.
Lushan National Park
The mist-covered peaks of the northern Jiangxi mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its cultural significance.
Yangtze River Bend
A majestic view of the winding Yangtze River as the flight crosses from Anhui into the Jiangsu plains.
Jiangsu Plains
Geometric patterns of agricultural fields and vast networks of irrigation canals typical of eastern China.
Nanjing Infrastructure
Distant views of the massive bridge complexes spanning the Yangtze River near the city of Nanjing.
Sit on the left for the most diverse geographic features. On morning flights, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing excellent lighting for photos of the mountains and rivers without glare.
Nanling Mountains
Rugged green ridges forming the natural border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces shortly after takeoff.
Poyang Lake
Glimpses of China's largest freshwater lake in the distance, varying in size significantly depending on the season.
Hefei Outskirts
Visuals of the rapid urban expansion and industrial zones surrounding the capital of Anhui Province.
Yellow Sea Coastline
During the descent into Lianyungang, the sparkling waters of the Haizhou Bay and the port infrastructure become visible.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the inland landscape. During the final approach, look out for the massive Lianyungang Port, one of the busiest in China.
