SZX → LZO
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Luzhou Airport (Luzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the transition from the dense urban Pearl River Delta to the spectacular karst topography of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
Pearl River Delta West
Bird's-eye view of Zhongshan and Foshan's industrial landscape immediately after departure from SZX.
Zhaoqing Mountains
The lush peaks of Dinghu Mountain and the winding West River valley shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Guizhou Karst Peaks
Breathtaking views of the 'Forest of Peaks' across eastern Guizhou, featuring thousands of limestone hills.
High-Altitude Bridges
Opportunities to spot massive suspension bridges spanning deep gorges in the Guizhou-Sichuan border region.
Book an early morning flight to see the mist settling between the karst peaks of Guizhou. Avoid afternoon flights on this side if you want to prevent glare from the western sun as the plane heads northwest.
Shenzhen Skyline
Excellent views of the Bao'an district and the sprawling urban density of Dongguan during initial climb.
Nanling Mountain Range
The rugged boundary between Guangdong and Hunan provinces, often capped with clouds.
Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea
Expansive green canopies of the famous bamboo forests as the plane begins its descent into the Sichuan Basin.
Yangtze River Bend
The mighty Yangtze River near Luzhou, often filled with industrial barges and river traffic.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' light reflecting off the Yangtze River tributaries. Keep a lookout for the Chishui River's unique reddish hue during the descent if it has recently rained.
