CAN → WUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Sunan Shuofang International Airport (Wuxi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the East China coastal transition and a stunning approach over the vast Taihu Lake and the dense canal networks of the Yangtze River Delta.
Pearl River Delta
A panoramic view of the interconnected mega-cities of southern China during the initial climb.
East China Seaboard
Distant views of the rugged coastline where the mainland meets the East China Sea.
Hangzhou Bay
The wide mouth of the Qiantang River and glimpses of the massive cross-sea bridges during the descent.
Taihu Lake
An expansive view of China's third-largest freshwater lake, dominating the scenery just before landing.
Yangtze Delta Network
An intricate mosaic of ancient water canals, modern highways, and industrial zones surrounding Wuxi.
Book a seat on the right for the most dramatic approach into WUX. Sit here on morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, avoiding glare while photographing the Yangtze Delta. Watch closely 15 minutes before landing for the transition from the Qiantang River estuary to the sprawling waters of Taihu Lake.
Baiyun Airport View
A comprehensive view of Guangzhou's massive terminal structure and runway layout immediately after takeoff.
Nanling Mountains
Dense green ridges and mist-covered valleys as the flight crosses from Guangdong into Jiangxi province.
Gan River Valley
The winding path of the Gan River as it snakes through the agricultural heartland of central China.
Changzhou Skyline
Views of the neighboring industrial hub and high-rise developments during the final descent phase.
This side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the inland mountain ranges. Pay attention approximately 20 minutes after departure for the transition into the rugged Nanling terrain. During winter months, look for occasional frost or light snow on the higher peaks of northern Jiangxi.
