Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Xijiang River and the iconic limestone Karst topography as the flight crosses into Guangxi province.
Baiyun Mountain
The lush peaks of Baiyun Mountain are often visible to the north right after departing Guangzhou.
Xijiang River Valley
Follow the wide, winding path of the Xijiang River, the main tributary of the Pearl River system.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
Dramatically pointed limestone mountains start appearing as you approach the Guigang area.
Nanning Skyline
A clear view of the 'Green City' and its modern skyscrapers during the descent into Wuxu Airport.
Best for afternoon flights when the sun is to the south, illuminating the Karst formations with a warm glow. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views.
Pearl River Delta
Bird's-eye view of the dense urban sprawl of Guangzhou and Foshan immediately after takeoff.
Yunjun Mountains
Dense green ridges of the Yunjun range that separate the Pearl River Delta from western Guangdong.
Yong River Meanders
The deep blue curves of the Yong River as it flows through the southern outskirts of Nanning.
Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, preventing glare while photographing the Pearl River Delta. This side is better for seeing the industrial heart of the region.
