XUZ → SZX
Which side of the plane to sit from Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers premium views of the vast Poyang Lake and the misty peaks of Lushan, followed by a potential glimpse of the Hong Kong border on approach.
Huai River Plain
Intricate agricultural grids and ancient irrigation systems across northern Anhui province.
Lushan National Park
The majestic, often cloud-shrouded peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site near Jiujiang.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake, appearing as a massive silver mirror or a network of wetlands depending on the season.
Nanchang Cityscape
A clear view of the Gan River winding through the rapidly growing capital of Jiangxi.
Greater Bay Approach
Stunning views of the eastern mountains of Shenzhen and the distant skyline of Hong Kong's New Territories.
Choose this side for morning flights to enjoy the illuminated landscape without direct glare. Keep your camera ready about 50 minutes after takeoff for the Poyang Lake crossing. During the winter months, look for migratory bird patterns in the wetlands below.
Dabie Mountains
Dense forest canopies and rugged ridgelines marking the transition between central and southern China.
Yangtze River
A high-altitude perspective of the world's third-longest river as it snakes through the Hubei-Anhui border.
Danxia Landforms
The striking reddish sandstone cliffs and unique geological formations near Shaoguan in northern Guangdong.
Guangzhou Megalopolis
An incredible view of the urban sprawl connecting Foshan and Guangzhou during the southern descent.
Pearl River Estuary
The massive bridges and busy shipping lanes of the estuary just before touching down at Bao'an Airport.
This side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Pearl River Delta. As the plane descends into Shenzhen, watch for the massive Humen Bridge and the industrial scale of the Nansha district.
