SZX → CGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Shenzhen skyline upon departure and a more dramatic crossing of the Yangtze River near the Wuhan megalopolis.
Shenzhen Urban Core
Breathtaking views of the Futian and Nanshan skyscraper clusters shortly after takeoff from SZX.
Nanling Mountains
Lush, rugged green ridges that form the geographic divide between South and Central China.
Yangtze River
A spectacular view of Asia's longest river, often including the massive bridges of the Wuhan metropolitan area.
Dabie Mountains
Distant views of the prominent mountain range situated to the east of the flight path in Hubei.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, illuminating the Yangtze River and Nanling mountains beautifully. Watch for the transition from the humid green south to the drier, yellow-brown landscapes of the Central Plains.
Pearl River West
Views of the sprawling industrial delta and the intricate water networks around Foshan and Zhongshan.
Northern Guangdong Karst
Unique limestone mountain formations visible as the flight transitions into the Nanling mountain range.
Central Hubei Plains
A massive patchwork of agricultural fields and irrigation canals characteristic of the Jianghan Plain.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight. During the descent into Zhengzhou, this side offers better views of the western foothills of the Henan province.
