CAN → XUZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for China's massive inland water systems, including the expansive Poyang Lake and the majestic crossing of the Yangtze River delta region.
Pearl River Delta
Extensive aerial views of the Guangzhou and Dongguan metropolitan sprawl immediately after takeoff.
Poyang Lake
The highlight of the route, offering views of China's largest freshwater lake and its seasonal wetlands.
Yangtze River Crossing
A stunning perspective of the winding Yangtze River near the Wuhu and Ma'anshan industrial corridor.
Hongze Lake
One of the four largest freshwater lakes in China, visible as the flight enters the Jiangsu airspace.
Grand Canal
Sections of the ancient Jing-Hang Grand Canal can be spotted snaking through the landscape near Xuzhou.
The right side is essential for seeing Poyang Lake, which is best viewed around mid-flight. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the lakes and the Yangtze River without glare from the sun.
Nanling Mountains
View the rugged, misty peaks of the northern Guangdong border as the plane climbs to cruising altitude.
Lushan Foothills
Glimpse the western fringes of the famous Lushan National Park in Jiangxi province.
Hefei Skyline
A clear view of the rapidly expanding urban center of Anhui province during the descent phase.
Huai River Valley
Observe the intricate patchwork of agricultural fields that define the transition into the North China Plain.
Anhui Farmlands
Intense agricultural patterns and rural settlements typical of the region's breadbasket.
Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Dabie Mountains. It is also ideal for spotting the dense urban layout of Hefei and the industrial landscapes of northern Anhui.
