Which side of the plane to sit from Fuyang Xiguan Airport (Fuyang) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most iconic landmarks of the route, including a prime view of Poyang Lake and the historic Lushan Mountain range during the mid-flight segment.
Poyang Lake
A massive view of China's largest freshwater lake, showing its intricate network of wetlands and seasonal water changes.
Lushan Mountain
Look for the mist-shrouded peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site located near the city of Jiujiang.
Nanchang Skyline
The capital of Jiangxi province is visible along the banks of the Gan River, featuring dense urban clusters.
Gan River Meanders
The plane follows the general path of this major river, offering views of its winding turns and river traffic.
Pearl River Delta Entry
As you descend into Guangzhou, the vast urban sprawl and lit-up highways of the northern delta come into view.
Choose a morning flight (08:00-10:00) to see the sun illuminating Poyang Lake without harsh glare. The left side is also better for spotting the Nanchang urban area. In winter, the lake levels are lower, revealing unique sandbar patterns.
Dabie Mountains
View the rugged, forested peaks of the Dabie range shortly after departing the Fuyang area.
Wuhan Outskirts
On very clear days, the distant western horizon reveals the outskirts of the massive Wuhan metropolitan area.
Nanling Mountain Range
The natural border between central China and the south, featuring steep ridges and deep green valleys.
Shaoguan Danxia
Spot the unique reddish sandstone formations of the Danxia landforms during the initial descent phase.
Baiyun Approach
Views of the northern mountainous reservoirs of Guangzhou just before final alignment with the runway.
Book an afternoon flight to catch the sunset over the Nanling Mountains. The right side typically avoids the direct morning sun, making it more comfortable for photography during early departures. Keep an eye out for the distinct red soil of northern Guangdong.
