Search flights from CKG to CAN
Chongqing Confluence
A stunning view of the Jialing and Yangtze rivers meeting at Chaotianmen, surrounded by the city's iconic skyscrapers.
Guizhou Karst Peaks
A spectacular 'sea' of thousands of limestone cone hills stretching as far as the eye can see across Guizhou province.
Danxia Landforms
Spot the unique reddish sandstone formations near Shaoguan as the flight crosses into northern Guangdong.
Guangzhou Skyline
On clear days during the southern approach, the Canton Tower and the Zhujiang New Town CBD are visible to the east.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Guizhou karst peaks. Morning flights (08:00–11:00) provide the best side-lighting for photographing the mountain textures. Be prepared for occasional haze over the Pearl River Delta which may obscure ground details during the final 15 minutes.

Yangtze River Bends
Watch the winding Yangtze River as it carves through the mountainous terrain east of Chongqing shortly after takeoff.
Wuling Mountain Range
Aerial views of the rugged, forested peaks that form the transitional zone between the Sichuan Basin and the central plains.
Nanling Mountains
The natural boundary between central and southern China, often featuring dramatic cloud sea formations over the ridges.
Dongguan Industrial Hub
Observe the massive manufacturing clusters of the eastern Pearl River Delta during the descent into Guangzhou.
To avoid harsh direct sunlight on morning flights, sit on the left. This side provides excellent views of the Nanling mountain mist during the spring and summer months. Watch for the sprawling urban expansion as you enter the Pearl River Delta airspace.
