SZX → ZYI
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Zunyi Xinzhou Airport (Zunyi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the dense Shenzhen skyline upon takeoff and provides a clearer view of the unique Dalou Mountain range during the descent into Zunyi.
Shenzhen Skyline
Spectacular views of the Nanshan and Bao'an districts, including the distinct Ping An Finance Center in the distance.
Guangxi Karst Landscape
Fly over the iconic 'sugarloaf' limestone mountains that characterize the border regions of Guangxi and Guizhou.
Dalou Mountains
The rugged, mist-covered peaks of the Dalou range provide a dramatic backdrop as the plane approaches Zunyi.
Zunyi Urban Center
A view of the historic city of Zunyi, famous for its 'Red Tourism' landmarks, nestled among the green hills.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the South China Sea coastline during takeoff. As you approach ZYI, look for the sharp ridges of the Guizhou plateau which are more prominent on this side during the standard northern approach.
Pearl River Estuary
Aerial view of the massive estuary and the busy shipping lanes connecting Shenzhen, Zhongshan, and Macau.
Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link
View the incredible engineering of the cross-sea bridge and tunnel project stretching across the water.
Zhaoqing Highlands
The transition from the flat delta to the beginning of the rugged southern Chinese mountain ranges.
Wujiang River
Watch for the turquoise waters of the Wujiang River carving deep canyons through the Guizhou plateau.
Sit on the left for better views of the Pearl River Delta's industrial scale. During late afternoon flights, this side will be away from the direct sun, making it easier to photograph the landscape without cabin reflections.
