SZX → LYI
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Shubuling Airport (Linyi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for seeing the majestic Lushan Mountain range and the industrial scale of the Yangtze River crossing, followed by a scenic approach along the Yi River in Linyi.
Shenzhen Bay
Stunning views of the Nanshan district skyscrapers and the bridge connecting to Hong Kong.
Mount Lu (Lushan)
Iconic mist-covered peaks and a UNESCO World Heritage site located near Jiujiang.
Poyang Lake
Expansive views of China's largest freshwater lake, particularly vibrant during the wet season.
Yangtze River
A grand crossing over one of the world's busiest waterways featuring massive cargo ships.
Yi River Path
The final descent follows the Yi River, offering a green corridor leading into Linyi city.
The right side is best for morning departures to keep the sun behind you. Look for Mount Lu about halfway through the flight; its distinct silhouette is often visible above the clouds. During descent into Linyi, the river views are exceptionally clear on this side.
Pearl River Estuary
Aerial view of the dense urban sprawl of Foshan and western Guangzhou during initial climb.
Danxia Mountains
Unique red sandstone landforms in northern Guangdong known for their steep cliffs.
Gan River Valley
The winding path of the Gan River as it flows north through Jiangxi province.
Hefei Skyline
The expanding urban center and high-rises of Anhui's capital city during the cruise phase.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the central Chinese highlands. Keep an eye out for the distinctive red rock formations of Danxia approximately 25-30 minutes after departure from Shenzhen.
