Ganzhou Basin
Visual transition from the dense mountain forests to the urban sprawl of the Jiangxi border region.
Pearl River Delta
A grand view of the massive urbanization and infrastructure as you descend into the Guangzhou metropolis.
The first 15 minutes of the flight are crucial for the best scenery; ensure your window is clear for takeoff. Morning flights are ideal for catching the 'sea of clouds' effect over the Wuyi peaks. During the descent into CAN, the right side often offers a better perspective of the city's expanding northern suburbs.

Vast expanses of the world-famous rock tea gardens covering the rolling hills of Nanping.
Min River Headwaters
Aerial views of the winding river systems that feed into the Fujian coastline.
Hakka Heartland
Rugged, forested terrain of the interior mountains as the flight heads south towards Meizhou.
