Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Shijiazhuang Daguocun International Airport (Shijiazhuang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Pearl River Delta's urban density at takeoff and better visibility of the Yellow River and the vast North China Plain during the descent phase.
Shenzhen Skyline
A stunning panoramic view of Shenzhen's high-density skyscrapers and the Pearl River Delta shortly after takeoff.
Poyang Lake Basin
Distant views of China's largest freshwater lake system and the surrounding wetlands in Jiangxi.
Yellow River
The iconic silt-laden waters of the Yellow River as it meanders through the plains near Zhengzhou.
Zhengzhou Urban Area
A clear view of the massive transit hub and urban layout of Henan's capital city from cruising altitude.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to capture the sun rising over the eastern horizon. Keep a close eye out approximately 30-40 minutes before landing to spot the distinct color of the Yellow River.
Nanling Mountains
Dense, subtropical mountain ridges marking the boundary between Guangdong and Hunan provinces.
Yangtze River Crossing
The massive scale of the Yangtze River is visible as the flight traverses the Hubei region.
Central Plains
Vast stretches of meticulously organized agricultural land characteristic of Henan province.
Taihang Mountains
Rugged peaks and deep valleys of the Taihang range appearing to the west during the approach into Shijiazhuang.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to experience the golden hour over the Taihang Mountains. During the winter, look for snow-capped peaks in the northern sections of the route.
