Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the Pearl River Delta's urban landscape to the iconic karst limestone peaks of Guangxi.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Guangzhou-Foshan Megacity

Vast urban sprawl including the distant Canton Tower and the dense skyscrapers of the Pearl River Delta.

⛰️

Zhaoqing Karst Peaks

Distinctive limestone formations and the Seven Star Crags area visible as you pass north of Zhaoqing.

🔀

Wuzhou River Confluence

The meeting point of the Gui and Xun rivers, often showing a clear color contrast between the different sediment loads.

🏔️

Guangxi Limestone Forest

The spectacular 'forest' of jagged karst mountains that defines the region's world-famous topography.

🌾

Nanning Rural Basins

A mosaic of emerald-green rice paddies tucked between limestone hills just before touchdown.

The right side is the photographer's choice. For the clearest views of the karst mountains, book a morning flight when the air is generally crisper. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes after takeoff when the terrain shifts from flat plains to jagged peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏗️

Pearl River Delta Infrastructure

Bird's-eye view of the massive Humen Bridge and the developing Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link over the estuary.

🌊

South China Coastline

Distant views of the Beibu Gulf and the winding coastal channels of Jiangmen during the initial cruise.

🌳

Guangdong-Guangxi Border Forests

Dense, rolling subtropical evergreen forests that mark the transition between the two provinces.

🛶

Yongjiang River Loops

The winding path of the Yongjiang River as the aircraft aligns for its final approach into Nanning.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. This side is also excellent for observing the intricate network of aquaculture ponds scattered across the delta during the first 15 minutes of the flight.
