Which side of the plane to sit from Liuzhou Bailian Airport (Liuzhou) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Pearl River Delta's massive urban sprawl, including a likely sighting of the Guangzhou skyline and the dramatic transition from Guangxi's karst mountains to the high-tech corridors of Shenzhen.
Liuzhou Karst Formations
Dramatic limestone peaks and hills surrounding Liuzhou city immediately after takeoff.
Guangzhou Skyline
On clear days, see the iconic Canton Tower and the dense skyscrapers of the Zhujiang New Town CBD.
Dongguan Urban Grid
An endless carpet of urban development and industrial parks as you enter the Pearl River Delta.
Gui River Meanders
Winding river sections cutting through the mountainous border of Guangxi and Guangdong provinces.
North Shenzhen Hubs
Close-up views of the rapidly developing Longhua and Bao'an districts during the final descent.
Book an 'A' seat for the best panoramic views. For the best photography of the karst landscape, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Keep your camera ready as you pass Guangzhou, which usually appears about 15-20 minutes before landing.
Xi River Basin
Follow the wide, silver ribbon of the West River as it flows toward the South China Sea.
Dinghu Mountain
Lush, forested peaks near Zhaoqing, offering a rare splash of deep green amidst the urban development.
Pearl River Estuary
Views of the massive Humen Bridge and the newer Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link crossing the water.
Lingdingyang Shipping
Watch massive container ships and high-speed ferries navigating the busy waters of the estuary.
Seat 'F' is ideal if you prefer coastal and maritime views. During the final approach into SZX, this side often looks out over the water, providing a sense of the region's scale as a global shipping hub. Best in the afternoon for golden hour lighting over the water.
