Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Pearl River Estuary upon departure and superior perspectives of the rugged mountain transitions between Hunan and the Sichuan Basin.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Pearl River Estuary

Stunning aerial view of the massive estuary and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during the initial climb.

⛰️

Xuefeng Mountain Range

Vast stretches of dense green ridges and hidden valleys through central Hunan province.

🏞️

Wu River Canyons

Deep, dramatic river carvings and limestone cliffs visible as the flight enters the Chongqing-Sichuan border region.

🚜

Sichuan Terraces

Intricate agricultural patterns and terraced hillsides characteristic of eastern Sichuan's rural landscape.

Choose an afternoon flight for the best lighting over the Sichuan mountains and to see the sun reflecting off the Pearl River. Avoid the wing for unobstructed views of the deep river valleys near the end of the journey.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Shenzhen Skyline

A dense forest of skyscrapers including the Ping An Finance Center visible immediately after takeoff.

🧱

Danxia Landforms

The unique reddish rock formations and steep cliffs of northern Guangdong near Shaoguan.

🏔️

Mount Heng (Nanyue)

One of China's five sacred mountains, often appearing above a sea of clouds in central Hunan.

💧

Yangtze River Bends

Distant glimpses of the Yangtze winding through the plains of the middle reaches in the north.

⛰️

Daba Mountains

Rugged karst peaks and high-altitude terrain that define the northern boundary of the Dazhou region.

A morning flight is ideal for the right side to avoid the harsh afternoon glare. Look out for the distinctive red soil of the Danxia landforms roughly 20-30 minutes into the flight.
