The left side offers a more consistent view of the dramatic transition from the Guizhou Karst plateau to the Nanling Mountains, plus a better angle for viewing the urban density of Guangzhou upon arrival.

Guizhou Karst Plateau
Unique limestone 'forest of peaks' and sinkholes visible shortly after departure from Guiyang.
High-Speed Rail Bridges
Aerial views of the massive engineering marvels of the Guiyang-Guangzhou high-speed railway snaking through mountains.
Nanling Mountains
Crossing the rugged natural border between the inland plateau and the coastal provinces.
Huadu District
Close-up views of the northern Guangzhou urban sprawl during the final approach into Baiyun Airport.
Sit on the left side during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. This side provides the most dramatic views of the mountainous terrain before the descent into the Pearl River Delta. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for the best karst topography.
