Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Shijiazhuang Daguocun International Airport (Shijiazhuang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the rugged Nanling Mountains shortly after takeoff and the dramatic limestone escarpments of the Taihang Mountains during the final approach into Shijiazhuang.
Search flights from CAN to SJW
Nanling Mountain Range
Dense, lush green peaks marking the transition between Guangdong and Hunan provinces.
Wuhan Metropolitan Area
The winding Yangtze River and the massive urban sprawl of central China's primary hub.
Taihang Mountains
Stunning vertical cliffs and deep canyons that define the western edge of the North China Plain.
Songshan Mountain
The sacred peaks of the 'Central Mountain' of the Five Great Mountains, home to the Shaolin Temple.
Sit on the left (Window A) for the most dramatic mountain scenery. In winter, the Taihang Mountains are often dusted with snow, creating a stark contrast against the plains. Aim for a flight between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM for the highest sun angle to see into the deep mountain valleys.

Pearl River Delta
An incredible view of the interconnected megacities of Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen upon departure.
Poyang Lake
Visible in the distance to the east, China's largest freshwater lake appears as a vast silver mirror.
North China Plain
An endless patchwork of agricultural fields stretching toward the horizon, showcasing China's breadbasket.
Yellow River Crossing
The iconic silty, golden-brown waters of the Huanghe snaking through the Henan landscape.
The right side (Window F) is better for seeing the immense scale of the Pearl River Delta during takeoff. Keep a lookout for the Yellow River about 30-40 minutes before landing; the contrast between the river and the surrounding fields is most vibrant during the late afternoon golden hour.
