HZH → CAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Liping Airport (Liping) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the iconic karst landscapes of Guangxi and a much higher probability of seeing the Guangzhou city skyline, including the Canton Tower, during the final approach.
Search flights from HZH to CAN
Dong Ethnic Villages
Look down to see the clustered wooden architecture and distinctive drum towers of the Zhaoxing region.
Hezhou Karst Forest
Stunning vistas of the 'Forest of Peaks' limestone topography characteristic of northeastern Guangxi.
Pearl River Delta
The transition from rugged mountains to one of the world's most densely populated urban landscapes.
Guangzhou CBD
On many approach patterns into CAN, this side provides a panoramic view of the Zhujiang New Town skyscrapers and the Canton Tower.
This is the 'scenic side' for this route. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to catch the sun reflecting off the Pearl River. During landing, if the plane approaches from the north (Runway 19/20), the right side frequently captures the most dramatic views of downtown Guangzhou's skyline.

The North River of the Pearl River system winds through the valleys below during the mid-flight transition.
Huadu District Sprawl

Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Keep your eyes peeled shortly after takeoff for the hidden terraced fields tucked between the mountain peaks of the Guizhou-Guangxi border.
