Which side of the plane to sit from Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning sequence of coastal views, major port cities, and the dramatic transition from the East China Sea to the Pearl River Delta.
Search flights from WNZ to CAN
Wenzhou Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff, view the scattered islands of the Dongtou district and the Oujiang River meeting the sea.
Fuzhou and Min River
Clear views of the sprawling provincial capital of Fujian and the wide mouth of the Min River.
Xiamen Coastal Skyline
Spot the dense urban development of Xiamen Island and the busy shipping lanes of the Taiwan Strait.
Shantou Bay
Aerial perspective of the Han River delta and the coastal bridges connecting the Shantou Special Economic Zone.
Pearl River Estuary
During the descent, watch the massive logistics hubs and container ships approaching the Guangzhou and Dongguan ports.
The left side is superior for coastal landmarks. For morning flights, be prepared for some glare as the sun rises over the Pacific; late afternoon flights offer the most golden lighting for photographing the Fujian coastline. Use a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the city clusters.

Wuyi Foothills
View the rugged, green-carpeted mountains of western Fujian, known for their deep valleys and tea plantations.
Beijiang River Basin
Follow the winding path of the North River as it carves through the limestone topography of northern Guangdong.
Hakka Heartland
The flight passes over the mountainous regions of Meizhou, characterized by traditional circular dwellings visible in rural pockets.
Nanling Mountains
Lush subtropical forests and steep ridges that form the natural weather barrier between central and southern China.
Baiyun Mountain Park
Just before landing at CAN, catch a glimpse of the 'lung of Guangzhou'—a massive green park north of the city center.
The right side provides a serene view of China's southern mountain ranges. This side is better during afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun. It is particularly scenic during the spring when the mist clings to the Fujian valleys, though cloud cover is more frequent over the inland mountains than the coast.
