KWL → ZUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin) to Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an exceptional view of the iconic Guilin karst landscape immediately upon departure and offers a strategic vantage point for the Pearl River Delta's urban sprawl and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during the descent.
Guilin Karst Peaks
Dramatic limestone formations and the winding Li River valley visible shortly after takeoff from KWL.
Pearl River Delta Megacity
The dense, interconnected urban landscape of Foshan and Guangzhou as the flight enters Guangdong province.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge is often visible stretching across the Lingdingyang waters during the final approach.
Nansha Port Activity
Massive container terminals and heavy maritime traffic at the mouth of the Pearl River.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best view of the bridge. For morning flights, this side experiences less direct sun glare, making it easier to photograph the hazy karst mountains. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight as the descent over the delta is very fast.
Yangshuo Landscape
The southern portion of the Guilin karst region, featuring the famous 'Ten Mile Gallery' area from an aerial perspective.
Dayao Mountain Range
Deep green forested ridges and rugged terrain of the Guangxi-Guangdong border region.
Xijiang River
The main tributary of the Pearl River winding through the valleys of western Guangdong.
Wanshan Archipelago
Numerous small, emerald islands scattered in the South China Sea visible if the flight patterns approach from the south.
Choose a 'K' or 'F' seat for afternoon flights to catch the golden hour light hitting the karst peaks. This side is better for observing the transition from mountainous terrain to the coastal plains. Watch for the coastline of Jiangmen and the western edge of the delta during the mid-flight phase.
