Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic karst topography in Central China and a stunning panorama of the Pearl River Delta and Shenzhen's skyline during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Wuling Mountains

Spectacular karst limestone formations and rugged peaks characteristic of the Hunan border region.

🌲

Nanling Range

The natural geographic boundary between Central and South China, featuring lush subtropical forests.

🌉

Pearl River Estuary

The intricate network of bridges, shipping lanes, and artificial islands that define the world's most populous urban area.

🏢

Shenzhen Skyline

A close-up view of the Ping An Finance Centre and the dense skyscraper clusters of Futian and Nanshan districts.

This side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the mountains. During the landing pattern at SZX, the right side usually provides the best view of the Shenzhen Bay Bridge and the city's coastal architecture.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Yangtze River Gorges

Initial views of the massive Yangtze River carving through the steep valleys of the Wanzhou region.

🏔️

Shennongjia Peaks

Dense, forested mountain ranges of Western Hubei, home to some of the highest peaks in central China.

💧

Dongting Lake Basin

Aerial views of the sprawling wetlands and agricultural plains surrounding China's second largest freshwater lake.

🏙️

Guangzhou Far-view

A distant look at the massive urban sprawl of the Pearl River Delta as the aircraft begins its descent.

Opt for an early morning flight to see the mist rising from the Yangtze river valleys. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the mountain terrain isn't blocked by the engine cowlings.
