Which side of the plane to sit from Jinggangshan Airport (Jian) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Jinggangshan mountain ranges immediately after takeoff and provides a better perspective of the unique Danxia landforms in northern Guangdong province.
Search flights from JGS to CAN
Jinggangshan Peaks
Immediate views of the high-altitude 'Cradle of the Revolution' with its sharp ridges and deep valleys.
Luoxiao Mountains
Fly parallel to the rugged spine of the Luoxiao range, featuring dense subtropical forests.
Danxia Landforms
Spot the distinct reddish sandstone cliffs and pillars characteristic of northern Guangdong's geography.
Baiyun Approach
Excellent views of the northern Guangzhou mountains and the vast logistics hub surrounding the airport.
Sit on the right for the best mountain photography. In the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so have your window shade ready but look out for 'golden hour' lighting on the red Danxia cliffs near Shaoguan.
