Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Ganzhou Airport (Ganzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the Pearl River Delta's industrial scale and the scenic convergence of the Gan River tributaries near Ganzhou.
Bao'an Coastal Zone
Immediate view of the reclaimed land and massive logistics hubs of Shenzhen during the climb.
Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link
The sprawling bridge and tunnel infrastructure project visible across the estuary shortly after takeoff.
Luofu Mountain Range
Lush peaks and Taoist sacred sites appearing as the flight heads north into the Guangdong interior.
Gan River Meanders
The winding path of the river as the aircraft begins its descent into the Jiangxi province basin.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. Keep your camera ready immediately after departure to capture the Pearl River infrastructure. During the descent, look for the traditional agricultural patterns in the valleys of southern Jiangxi.
Shenzhen Core Skyline
A distant but impressive panoramic view of the Ping An Finance Center and the Nanshan district skyscrapers.
Dongjiang River Basin
The vital waterway snaking through the hills of northern Guangdong, providing water to the entire delta region.
Jiulianshan Reserve
Dense, dark green forest canopy covering the rugged border mountains between Guangdong and Jiangxi.
Ganzhou River Confluence
A stunning view of where the Zhang and Gong rivers meet to form the Gan River as you approach the airport.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour light reflecting off the winding river systems. Ensure you are looking out early in the flight for the best view of the Shenzhen urban sprawl before entering the mountainous northern corridor.
