Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake, the dramatic Nanling Mountains, and a high probability of seeing the Guangzhou skyline on the final approach.

Right Side Highlights

💧

Lake Gehu

Immediate view of this scenic local lake located just west of Changzhou Benniu Airport after departure.

ðŸĶĒ

Poyang Lake

A spectacular aerial perspective of China's largest freshwater lake and its unique wetland ecosystem.

ðŸŒē

Nanling Mountains

Rugged, emerald-green peaks marking the geographic transition from Jiangxi into Guangdong province.

🏙ïļ

Guangzhou CBD

Often provides views of the Canton Tower and the Zhujiang New Town skyscrapers during the final descent into CAN.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to minimize glare and capture the best lighting of the landscape. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for Poyang Lake. During landing, this side often offers the best views of the iconic Canton Tower if the plane approaches from the north.

🌊

Taihu Lake

Expansive views of one of China's largest freshwater lakes shortly after takeoff from Changzhou.

⛰ïļ

Wuyi Mountains

Distant views of the UNESCO-listed mountain range that defines the border between Jiangxi and Fujian.

Dongguan Sprawl

The dense industrial and urban network of the eastern Pearl River Delta as the plane descends.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight. Watch for the glittering Taihu Lake within the first 15 minutes of the flight. It is also the better side for seeing the sunrise if you are on an early morning departure.
