SZXYBP

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic karst landscapes of Guangxi and the rugged plateau of Guizhou, especially during afternoon flights when the lighting accentuates the mountain silhouettes.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge

Immediately after takeoff, witness the massive sea-crossing bridge infrastructure stretching across the Pearl River Estuary.

⛰️

Guangxi Karst Towers

As the flight enters Guangxi, the terrain transforms into iconic limestone 'tower' formations typical of the region.

🏔️

Guizhou Highland Plateau

A bird's-eye view of the deep river canyons and high-altitude plateaus that define the Guizhou landscape.

🌊

Beipan River View

Occasional views of the deep emerald rivers cutting through the limestone mountains in the border region.

🌄

Southwest Mountain Sunset

For late afternoon flights, this side offers stunning sunset views over the endless mountain ridges of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

Book a window seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the karst peaks. This side is particularly spectacular during the 'Golden Hour' (late afternoon), though you may need sunglasses for the glare. In winter, look for morning mist trapped in the Guizhou valleys.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Nanshan Skyline

A direct view of Shenzhen's modern skyscrapers in Nanshan and Qianhai during the initial climb out of SZX.

🌳

Nanling Forest Reserves

Look down upon the dense, lush greenery of the Nanling mountain range on the border of Guangdong and Hunan.

🛤️

Guizhou High-Speed Rail

Spot the impressive bridges and tunnels of the high-speed rail network weaving through the mountainous terrain.

🥃

Wuliangye Industrial Park

During the descent into Yibin, the massive production facilities of the world-famous baijiu brand are clearly visible.

💧

Yangtze River Confluence

Witness the 'First City of the Yangtze' where the Jinsha and Min rivers merge to form the Yangtze River main stem.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun while still seeing the urban landscape of Shenzhen. During the final approach into Yibin, pay close attention to the river systems; the confluence is a major geographic landmark. The red-colored soil of the Sichuan Basin becomes visible as you descend.
