CAN → YIW
Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Yiwu Airport (Yiwu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides superior views of the dramatic Wuyi Mountain range and the lush, terraced landscapes of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.
East Guangdong Highlands
Vibrant green rolling hills and small agricultural reservoirs visible shortly after departure.
Wuyi Mountains
Breathtaking views of the UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its dramatic cliffs and red sandstone landforms.
Fuchun River Headwaters
The intricate network of rivers and lakes that feed into the scenic Fuchun River valley.
Yiwu International Trade City
A massive view of the world's largest small commodity market complex during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the left, illuminating the mountains perfectly. Look for the distinct reddish rock faces of the Wuyi range about halfway through the flight. During spring, you may see yellow rapeseed flower fields in the valleys below.
Guangzhou North Suburbs
Aerial view of the rapidly expanding urban footprint and industrial zones of northern Guangzhou.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged boundary between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces, featuring dense forests and deep valleys.
Gan River Meanders
The winding path of the Gan River as it flows through the southern Jiangxi basin.
Mount Sanqingshan
Distant views of the granite peaks and unique rock formations near the Jiangxi-Zhejiang border.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the glare of the rising sun. Watch for the change from urban sprawl to mountainous terrain within the first 20 minutes of flight. This side is better for observing the interior river systems of Jiangxi.
