Which side of the plane to sit from Luzhou Airport (Luzhou) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Yangtze River winding through Luzhou upon departure and provides the most direct line of sight to the iconic Guangzhou CBD and Canton Tower during typical northern approach patterns into Baiyun Airport.
Yangtze River Confluence
Aerial view of the Yangtze River snaking through the Luzhou landscape immediately after takeoff.
Nanling Mountain Range
Dramatic ridges and lush valleys of the Nanling Mountains as the flight crosses the border into Guangdong.
Qingyuan Cityscape
A clear view of Qingyuan city and the Beijiang River as the aircraft begins its descent into the Pearl River Delta.
Guangzhou CBD
On clear days, the Canton Tower and Zhujiang New Town skyscrapers are visible to the east during the approach.
Baiyun Terminal View
A sweeping view of the massive Terminal 2 and runway infrastructure when landing from the north.
Choose an 'A' seat for the best panoramic views. For the Guangzhou skyline, fly during mid-morning or early afternoon when the sun is positioned to illuminate the city from the south/west. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the urban density of the Pearl River Delta.
Chishui River Basin
Views of the red-tinged landscape and deep valleys of the Chishui River area south of Luzhou.
Guizhou Karst Peaks
Spectacular sightings of the unique limestone karst formations and sinkholes typical of the Guizhou plateau.
Dinghu Mountain
The lush green peaks of the Dinghu Mountain Nature Reserve are visible to the west during the final cruise phase.
Foshan Urban Area
The expansive industrial and residential clusters of Foshan can be seen as the flight aligns for the runway.
Pearl River Tributaries
A complex network of waterways and modern bridges that define the western side of the delta.
Opt for an 'F' or 'K' seat to avoid direct glare on afternoon flights. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights, as the sun dips behind the Guizhou mountains, creating long shadows across the karst landscape. It is also the better side for seeing the vast industrial footprint of the western Pearl River Delta.
