Xijiang River
Follow the primary western branch of the Pearl River as it carves through the landscape.
Seven Star Crags
Unique limestone rock formations and lakes visible as you fly over the Zhaoqing region.
Foshan Metropolis
The dense, interconnected urban landscape of Foshan, a major manufacturing hub in the Pearl River Delta.
Guangzhou Skyline
On a clear day during southern approaches, catch sight of the Canton Tower and Zhujiang New Town skyscrapers.
Pearl River Delta Network
The intricate web of canals, fish ponds, and waterways that define the agriculture and geography of the delta.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular reflections off the Pearl River. During the landing phase at CAN, if the plane approaches from the south, you'll have a much better view of the Guangzhou urban core. Use a high shutter speed if photographing, as the short flight duration means the aircraft maintains high speed through most of the scenic areas.
