Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a more intimate look at the Liujiang River's dramatic bends near Liuzhou and the vast confluence of the West River system, along with better views of Foshan and Guangzhou's massive urban sprawl during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
💧

Liujiang River Loop

The famous U-shaped bend of the river that wraps around downtown Liuzhou visible immediately after takeoff.

🛶

Wuzhou River Confluence

The meeting point of the Xun and Gui rivers, marking a major geographic hub in eastern Guangxi.

⛰️

Dinghu Mountain

A glimpse of the green canopy and ancient temples of the Dinghu Mountain National Nature Reserve near Zhaoqing.

🏗️

Foshan Urban Core

The endless skyline and industrial complexes of Foshan, seamlessly blending into Guangzhou's urban fabric.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sun reflecting off the West River. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the city loop and again 15 minutes before landing for the dense Pearl River Delta skyline. Be aware that summer haze can frequently reduce visibility in this region.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Liuzhou Karst Peaks

Sharp, iconic limestone formations surrounding the departure airport and the city's outskirts.

🌲

Dayao Mountain Range

Distant views of the lush, forested peaks of central Guangxi as the flight heads southeast.

🏙️

North Guangzhou Suburbs

The transition from rural farmland to the high-density residential blocks of northern Guangzhou.

Choose the left side if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid direct sunlight and glare while viewing the karst mountains. Watch for the northern sections of the Pearl River Delta's intricate canal networks during the initial descent phase.
