Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Weifang Airport (Weifang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the expansive lake systems of the Yangtze River Delta and the coastal approach into the Shandong Peninsula.
Dongjiang River Basin
Serpentine river views and reservoir systems shortly after takeoff from CAN airport.
Jiangsu Lake District
Spectacular views of massive freshwater bodies including Gaoyou Lake and Hongze Lake during the descent phase.
Bohai Sea Coastline
The shimmering waters of Laizhou Bay become visible as the flight maneuvers for its final approach to Weifang.
Weifang Urban Grid
A clear view of the 'Kite Capital' layout, featuring wide boulevards and the Bailang River.
The right side is perfect for afternoon flights to avoid glare. Pay close attention about an hour into the flight to spot the massive lake networks of Jiangsu. For the best coastal views, hope for a northern approach which often tracks along the edge of the Bohai Sea before turning inland toward Weifang Airport.
Guangzhou Northern Sprawl
Aerial view of the dense urban architecture and industrial zones surrounding Baiyun District.
Nanling Mountains
Dramatic green peaks and misty valleys marking the border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.
Yangtze River Bend
A view of the winding Yangtze River as it cuts through the Anhui province landscape.
Central China Farmland
A patchwork of agricultural fields that change colors dramatically between the growing and harvest seasons.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is ideal for spotting the rugged terrain of the Nanling range approximately 20-30 minutes after departure from Guangzhou. During the winter, look for occasional frost or light snow on the higher peaks of Jiangxi.
