SZX → XUZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the initial climb over the Shenzhen skyline and the coastal features of eastern Guangdong, followed by a dramatic crossing of the Yangtze River.
Shenzhen Skyline
Breathtaking views of the Ping An Finance Center and the Futian CBD skyscrapers immediately after takeoff from SZX.
Daya Bay
The sparkling blue waters and complex coastline of eastern Huizhou and the South China Sea.
Yangtze River Crossing
A spectacular view of China's longest river, often featuring massive bridge infrastructure and heavy shipping traffic.
Hongze Lake
One of the large freshwater lakes in the region, visible to the east during the final descent into Xuzhou.
This side is optimal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the coastline. On clear days, you can spot the Grand Canal snaking through the landscape. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Yangtze River crossing, which is a major highlight of this route.
Pearl River Delta
Aerial view of the dense urban sprawl and industrial zones of western Shenzhen and Dongguan during the initial climb.
Nanling Mountains
Rugged, green mountain ridges that define the border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.
Anhui Agricultural Plains
A vast patchwork of farmland and rural irrigation networks that dominate the landscape as the flight moves north.
Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It is particularly scenic during the golden hour when the shadows elongate over the Nanling mountain ranges. Keep an eye out for the Gan River valley which occasionally tracks to the left of the flight path.
