Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Lingling Airport (Yongzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Pearl River Delta's industrial heart and the dramatic transition into the karst landscapes and winding river valleys of southern Hunan.
Pearl River Estuary
Aerial views of the Humen and Shenzhen-Zhongshan bridges stretching across the massive delta.
Qingyuan Karst Peaks
Jagged limestone formations that begin to rise as the plane crosses into northern Guangdong.
Xiang River Headwaters
The winding blue ribbons of the upper Xiang River as it meanders through the Yongzhou basin.
Hunan Farmlands
A patchwork of terraced rice paddies and rural villages distinctive to the south-central China region.
For the best experience, book an early morning flight to see the mist rising from the Xiang River. Sit behind the wing to capture the contrast between the silver river and the green mountains. During the summer, evening flights on this side offer spectacular sunset views over the Guangxi border mountains.
Guangzhou Outskirts
Distal views of the expansive urban sprawl and the towering skyline of the Pearl River Delta's northern corridor.
Nanling National Forest
Dense, dark green forest canopies covering the mountain range that separates Guangdong from Hunan.
Lingling District
A clear view of the historic urban core of Yongzhou during the final descent into LLF.
This side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. It provides a more stable view of the mountainous terrain of the Nanling range. Look for the high-altitude reservoirs nestled in the mountain peaks during the middle of the flight.
