DYG → CAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Dayong Airport (Dayong) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the historic Nanyue Hengshan (Mount Heng) and the expansive Xiang River basin, providing a diverse mix of sacred peaks and winding waterways.
Wuling Mountain Range
Immediate views of the jagged peaks and lush greenery surrounding Zhangjiajie shortly after takeoff.
Mount Heng (Nanyue)
A clear view of one of China's Five Sacred Mountains, often seen peaking through a sea of clouds.
Xiang River Valley
The massive waterway that defines the Hunan landscape, snaking through agricultural heartlands.
Dongjiang Lake
The deep blue waters of this massive reservoir near Chenzhou appear as a striking sapphire jewel.
Guangzhou Skyline
On the standard approach to CAN, views of the northern suburban expansion and distant skyscrapers.
Morning flights are highly recommended to capture the sunrise over the Xiang River and the soft lighting on Mount Heng. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Nanyue peaks, which usually appear approximately 30 minutes after departure.
Hunan Karst Topography
Distinctive limestone formations and sinkholes visible in the southwestern reaches of Hunan province.
Nanling Mountains
Crossing the natural geographic boundary between Central and South China, characterized by dense subtropical forests.
Beijiang River
The 'North River' of Guangdong, carving deep valleys as it flows toward the Pearl River Delta.
Qingyuan Urban Area
A bird's-eye view of the rapid industrial and residential growth in northern Guangdong.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers excellent views of the rugged forest terrain of the Nanling Mountains. Watch for the dramatic change in landscape from the jagged karst of Hunan to the rolling green hills of Guangdong.
