Mount Heng (Hengshan)
Catch a glimpse of one of the Five Great Mountains of China, a major center for Taoism and Buddhism.
Nanling Mountains
Observe the rugged ridges and deep green valleys that serve as the natural boundary between Central and South China.
Beijiang River Valley
Follow the winding path of the North River as it carves through the karst-like limestone formations of northern Guangdong.
Guangzhou Northern Skyline
During the final approach, look for the lush greenery of Baiyun Mountain contrasted against the dense urban sprawl.
The right side is exceptional for late afternoon flights as the sun sets over the Nanling range. On the descent into CAN, watch for the shift from rugged mountains to the dense industrial and residential layout of the Pearl River Delta. If landing toward the south, this side often offers a better perspective of the airport's expansive terminal architecture.
