Which side of the plane to sit from Tunxi International Airport (Huangshan) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) massif shortly after takeoff and provides excellent vistas of the Nanling Mountains and the Poyang Lake basin during cruise.
Huangshan Scenic Area
The legendary 'Yellow Mountain' peaks, famous for granite cliffs and ancient pine trees, visible immediately after departure.
Poyang Lake Basin
The vast wetlands and agricultural plains surrounding China's largest freshwater lake to the west.
Jingdezhen Region
The historic world capital of porcelain, surrounded by lush green hills in Jiangxi province.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged mountain range that forms the natural border and climatic divide between Jiangxi and Guangdong.
Guangzhou CBD
On clear days and specific approach patterns, views of the Canton Tower and the city's massive skyscraper cluster.
Book an evening flight to catch the sunset over the Nanling Mountains. If taking off to the south, the Huangshan peaks are often visible on the right within the first 10 minutes of flight. Avoid the mid-cabin wing section to maximize the downward view of the mountain terrain.
Qiyun Mountain
One of the four sacred mountains of Taoism, located just southwest of Tunxi.
Sanqingshan National Park
UNESCO-listed granite peaks and pillars visible on the eastern horizon of the flight path.
Wanlv Lake
The largest man-made lake in South China, located in Heyuan, featuring crystal-clear green water.
Ancient Huizhou Villages
Distinctive white-walled and black-tiled architecture of the southern Anhui region seen during initial climb.
Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Huizhou countryside. In the afternoon, this side remains in the shade, making it better for photography without glare.
