Guangzhou Skyline
If the flight path banks south after takeoff, you can see the distant Canton Tower and CBD skyscrapers.
Wanlv Lake
The vast turquoise waters of the Xinfengjiang Reservoir, one of the largest man-made lakes in South China.
Dongjiang River
The winding path of the East River as it snakes through the valleys towards the Pearl River Delta.
Meizhou City Center
Panoramic views of the Meijiang River and the urban core of the Hakka capital during final approach.
Sit on the right for the best photographic opportunities of Wanlv Lake. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff. In the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, which may create glare but offers beautiful golden hour lighting over the reservoirs.
