Chongqing Outskirts
Views of the suburban sprawl and mountainous terrain near the Fuling district.
Guizhou Karst Peaks
Stunning 'forests' of limestone peaks and winding river canyons in northern Guizhou.
Nanling Mountains
The natural boundary between central and southern China, featuring high ridges and lush vegetation.
Humen Pearl River Bridge
A clear view of the massive bridge spans crossing the wide Pearl River estuary.
Pearl River Estuary
Vibrant maritime traffic and the artificial islands of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link before touchdown.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent into SZX. As the plane tracks south, you'll see the expansive Pearl River to the west. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the estuary, though be prepared for some glare from the setting sun over the water.

Dense forest coverage and deep river valleys of western Hubei and Hunan provinces.
Huizhou Urban Sprawl
Massive industrial and residential expansion on the eastern edge of the Pearl River Delta.

Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the dense urban centers of the Pearl River Delta during the descent. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, front-lit views of the mountains and cities.
