Which side of the plane to sit from Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha) to Beihai Airport (Beihai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Xiang River at departure, the majestic Mount Heng, and the iconic karst topography of central Guangxi during the descent.
Changsha Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Xiang River and the urban sprawl of Changsha immediately after takeoff from Huanghua.
Mount Heng (Hengshan)
One of the Five Great Mountains of China, featuring steep ridges and historic temple clusters visible shortly after departure.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
Spectacular views of the limestone 'sugar-loaf' hills that characterize the unique landscape of central and southern Guangxi.
Beihai Silver Beach
A glimpse of the famous white sands and the city's coastal skyline if the flight path arcs from the west for landing.
Best for afternoon flights to witness the sunset reflecting off the karst mountains. Keep your window shade open during the first 20 minutes to catch Mount Heng and the last 15 minutes for the dramatic coastal geography near Beihai.
Luoxiao Mountains
Dense, forested mountain ranges forming the border between Hunan and Jiangxi provinces to the east.
Pearl River Basin
View of the winding tributaries that feed into the Pearl River system as you traverse eastern Guangxi.
Gulf of Tonkin
The expansive blue horizon of the Beibu Gulf becomes visible as the aircraft approaches the southern coastline.
Hepu County
The historic urban area of Hepu, famous for its ancient pearl trade, visible just before the final approach.
Ideal for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the mountains without the glare of the sun. As you approach Beihai, look for the distinct change from green agricultural plots to the coastal wetlands of the Nanliu River delta.
