Shenzhen Skyline
Immediate views of the Bao'an district and the towering skyscrapers of Nanshan during departure.
Nanling Mountains
Cross over the rugged peaks that form the natural border between Guangdong and Guangxi provinces.
Guilin Karst Peaks
Witness the world-famous 'forest' of limestone peaks and winding rivers near the Guilin-Hezhou corridor.
Guiyang Approach
Experience the unique urban planning of Guiyang, where modern skyscrapers are built directly into steep limestone valleys.
The Right Side is the clear winner for the spectacular Guilin karst topography roughly 40-50 minutes into the flight. For the best photography of these peaks, book a mid-morning flight when the shadows highlight the vertical relief of the mountains. Avoid window seats over the wing (typically rows 15-25) to ensure an unobstructed view of the terrain below.

Pearl River Delta
Expansive views of the intricate river networks and industrial hubs of the western delta region.
Zhaoqing City
A bird's-eye view of the city and the scenic Seven Star Crags mountain formations near the city center.
Miaoling Mountains
Dense, lush greenery of the southern Guizhou mountain ranges as the plane begins its descent.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the afternoon sun. It offers better views of the sprawling industrial landscapes of Guangdong if you are interested in urban development and river hydrology.
