CAN → LYI
Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Shubuling Airport (Linyi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of Poyang Lake and the majestic Yangtze River crossing, along with the scenic Lushan mountain range.
Poyang Lake
The vast expanse of China's largest freshwater lake, featuring intricate wetlands and seasonal water levels.
Lushan National Park
Aerial perspective of the famous misty peaks and historic mountain resort area.
Yangtze River Bridge
A clear view of the massive Yangtze River as the flight crosses near the city of Jiujiang.
Jiangsu Waterways
The intricate network of canals and lakes, including Hongze Lake, as you head into the North China Plain.
Linyi Approach
Final descent views over the wide Yi River and the urban core of Linyi city.
The right side is superior for landmarks. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating Poyang Lake and Lushan. During winter, look for the distinct white patches of migratory birds in the wetlands. Ensure you are seated ahead of or behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the river crossing.
Nanling Mountains
Dense green ridges and karst peaks marking the border between Guangdong and Jiangxi.
Nanchang West
A glimpse of the western urban sprawl and Gan River tributaries.
Dabie Mountains
Distant views of the rugged mountain range separating the Yangtze and Huai rivers.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side provides a better view of the inland mountain ranges and the industrial landscape of central China. Watch for the dramatic change from subtropical forests to the flatter plains of the north.
