HYN β CAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Huangyan Luqiao Airport (Huangyan) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a magnificent perspective of the southeastern mainland, featuring the jagged Yandang mountains and a dramatic approach into the dense Pearl River Delta urban landscape.
Yandang Mountains
A UNESCO Global Geopark featuring unique volcanic rhyolite peaks and steep cliffs visible shortly after departure.
Fujian Highlands
Rolling green hills and deep river valleys that define the rugged interior of Fujian Province.
Xinfengjiang Reservoir
A vast, deep blue man-made lake known as 'WanlΓΌ Lake' appearing as the flight enters northern Guangdong.
Guangzhou Skyline
On the standard approach to CAN, enjoy a panoramic view of the CBD, including the iconic Canton Tower.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the inland mountains. Keep your window shade open as you cross the Guangdong border for the best views of the reservoir and urban clusters.
Taizhou Archipelago
View the scattering of islands in the East China Sea immediately after takeoff from Luqiao.
Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the shimmering blue waters and heavy maritime traffic in the strait.
Shantou Coastline
The transition from the rugged Fujian coast to the flatter, urbanized plains of eastern Guangdong.
Dapeng Bay
Massive container terminals and industrial infrastructure as you approach the Pearl River Delta.
Sit on the left for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the East China Sea. Choose a seat behind the wing to minimize engine glare while photographing the coastal islands.
