LYI → SZX
Which side of the plane to sit from Shubuling Airport (Linyi) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for China's inland geography, featuring the vast Poyang Lake, the rugged Dabie Mountains, and a spectacular approach over the Pearl River Delta.

Yangtze River Crossing
A massive silver ribbon of water cutting through the agricultural plains of central China.
Dabie Mountains
Dramatic ridges and deep green valleys located at the intersection of Anhui, Hubei, and Henan.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake; its shape changes dramatically between the wet and dry seasons.
Jinggang Mountains
The cradle of the Chinese revolution, characterized by steep, forested peaks and misty valleys.
Pearl River Estuary
The sprawling network of bridges and shipping lanes near Dongguan and the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the inland mountain ranges. Keep a close watch roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Yangtze River crossing. Poyang Lake is most impressive during the summer flood season (June-August) when it reaches its maximum size, appearing like a vast inland sea.

Mount Huangshan (Distal)

Sit on the left for morning departures to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. This side is particularly good for spotting the urban density of eastern China's developing corridors. During the final approach into SZX, the left side often yields better views of the city's iconic high-rises if the plane approaches from the north.
