Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Bijie Feixiong Airport (Bijie)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic transition from the Pearl River Delta to the deep karst valleys of Guizhou, including spectacular views of river canyons on the final approach.
Pearl River Estuary
Aerial view of the massive bridge networks and the bustling shipping lanes connecting Shenzhen and Zhongshan.
Zhaoqing Mountains
The lush green peaks of Dinghu Mountain and the winding West River valley appearing shortly after takeoff.
Guizhou Karst Sea
An endless horizon of thousands of conical limestone hills that define the unique topography of Southwest China.
Wujiang River Canyons
Deep, turquoise river bends cutting through steep limestone cliffs as the plane enters Guizhou airspace.
Bijie Cityscape
A clear view of the urban development nestled within the rugged mountain valleys during the descent.
Morning flights (08:00-10:00) are ideal to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. For the best view of the karst peaks, choose a seat behind the wing (rows 20+) to ensure an unobstructed downward line of sight. In spring, look for the yellow patches of rapeseed flowers in the valleys below.
Greater Bay Area Sprawl
A panoramic view of the continuous urban density stretching toward Guangzhou and Foshan.
North Guangdong Highlands
Rugged terrain and high-speed rail viaducts cutting through the mountainous landscape of the northern province.
Guilin-Hezhou Karst
Distances views of the famous jagged peaks of Guangxi, often shrouded in a mystical layer of low clouds.
Highland Plateau
The gradual rise in elevation as the aircraft approaches the Bijie Feixiong plateau area.
Afternoon flights provide excellent warm lighting for photographing the urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta. Be aware that this side can be quite bright during midday flights. Keep an eye out for the rapid change in cloud formations as the plane crosses the climatic boundary into the Guizhou plateau.
