Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Liuzhou Bailian Airport (Liuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the massive Shenzhen urban sprawl during departure and captures the most dramatic transition into the karst limestone topography as you approach Liuzhou.
Shenzhen Urban Density
A striking perspective of the skyscrapers in Bao'an and the rapid development of the Qianhai zone.
Mission Hills Greenery
Large patches of green golf courses and country clubs contrasting with the dense grey of the surrounding cities.
Zhaoqing Star Lake
If the route tracks slightly north, you may spot the lakes and early limestone formations near Zhaoqing.
Liuzhou Karst Peaks
The signature jagged 'tower karst' limestone peaks that rise abruptly from the plains during the final descent.
The right side is the best for urban geography enthusiasts during the first 10 minutes of flight. As the aircraft descends into Liuzhou, the karst formations become very prominent; for the sharpest photos of these peaks, choose a morning flight when the eastern sun illuminates the northern faces of the hills. Ensure your window is clean as the low-altitude karst scenery is a highlight of this route.
Pearl River Estuary
Aerial view of the Lingdingyang waters and the intricate network of the Pearl River Delta upon departure.
Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link
Visual of the massive bridge and tunnel infrastructure connecting the two sides of the estuary.
Jiangmen River Ports
Industrial riverfront views and dense container shipping traffic along the Xijiang River branches.
Southern Guangxi Hills
Dense, subtropical forested hills of eastern Guangxi appearing mid-flight.
Sit on the left for better lighting during mid-day and afternoon flights, as the sun will be positioned to the south. Keep an eye out for the vast bridge projects spanning the Pearl River immediately after the initial climb. In summer, the left side often captures the best views of localized storm clouds building over the South China Sea.
