SZX โ TXN
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Shenzhen skyline during departure and provides a more dramatic perspective of the Huangshan mountain range during the final descent into Tunxi.
Shenzhen Skyline
Spectacular views of the Ping An Finance Center and the dense urban grid of Futian and Luohu districts.
Xinfengjiang Reservoir
Also known as Wanlรผ Lake, look for the massive turquoise body of water surrounded by lush green hills in Heyuan.
Anhui Tea Plantations
As you descend into Huangshan, the hillsides are covered in the neat, terraced rows of Maofeng tea farms.
Huangshan Massif
The dramatic granite peaks and 'Sea of Clouds' of the Yellow Mountains are often visible on the approach to TXN airport.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting on the Huangshan peaks. Try to secure a seat well ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains during the steep descent into the valley.
Pearl River Estuary
Aerial views of the massive industrial shipping lanes and the Humen Bridge infrastructure shortly after takeoff.
Nanling Mountains
Crossing the border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces, featuring dense forests and rugged ridge lines.
Gan River Valley
The plane follows the path of this major Jiangxi waterway, showing fertile agricultural basins and river traffic.
Ji'an Cityscape
A clear view of the urban development and bridges spanning the Gan River in central Jiangxi.
For afternoon flights, the left side is shaded, making it much easier to take photos without sun glare. Watch for the expansive agricultural patterns in the Jiangxi basin which look particularly vibrant during the spring planting season.
