CANZYI

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic karst landscapes of the Guizhou-Guangxi border and the emerald Wujiang River winding through steep canyons as you enter Zunyi.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Danxia Landforms

Spot the iconic reddish sandstone cliffs and peaks of Northern Guangdong near the Shaoguan area.

🧗

Karst Peak Forests

Dramatic views of the 'stone forests'—thousands of limestone peaks typical of the South China Karst region.

🚤

Wujiang River Gorges

The deep emerald waters of the Wujiang River cutting through the mountains as you approach Zunyi.

🏗️

Zunyi Expansion

A clear view of the modern infrastructure and rapid urban development of the Xinzhou district during descent.

The right side is the prime spot for photographers. Look out for the Wujiang River about 20 minutes before landing. Autumn provides the clearest skies, as summer humidity often creates a haze over the karst valleys.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Guangzhou Urban Area

Panoramic views of the dense Pearl River Delta skyline and the Canton Tower during the initial climb.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

Cross the rugged green mountain boundary that separates the humid south from the inland plateaus.

🏞️

Guizhou Plateau

Spectacular aerial views of the highland plateau's deep valleys and traditional agricultural terracing.

Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Guangzhou urban sprawl. Morning flights are preferable to avoid direct sunlight and glare, which can be intense on the port side during westbound travel.
