Pearl River Panoramas
Aerial views of the western Guangzhou urban sprawl and the winding branches of the Pearl River shortly after takeoff.
Qingyuan Karst Peaks
Dramatic limestone pillars and karst towers rising from the landscape as you enter northern Guangdong province.
Lianjiang River Valley
The sparkling waters of the Lianjiang River carving through deep green valleys near the Guangdong-Hunan border.
Xuefeng Mountain Range
Dense forest coverage and rugged ridgelines of the western Hunan mountains during the mid-flight cruise.
Book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind the aircraft, illuminating the karst peaks perfectly. During descent, look for the sharp elevation changes as you enter the Guizhou plateau. Early morning flights often provide a mystical 'sea of clouds' effect over the mountain valleys.

Baiyun Airport Operations
An excellent perspective of the massive terminal complex and runway infrastructure of Guangzhou Baiyun during departure.
Danxia-style Terrain
Reddish rock formations and steep cliffs characteristic of the Danxia landforms in northern Guangdong.
Hunan Agricultural Patchwork
Intricate patterns of terraced farming and small rural villages scattered across the Shaoyang region.
Fenghuang Environs
On the final approach, the outskirts of the historic Fenghuang area and the Tuojiang River tributaries become visible.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of flight, as the approach into Tongren often involves banking maneuvers that provide a wide-angle view of the Guizhou-Hunan border mountains.
