Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of China's iconic Karst topography and the expansive river networks of the Pearl River Delta during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌄

Guizhou Karst Peaks

The famous 'forest' of conical limestone hills that define the unique topography of Southwest China.

🏞️

Wujiang River Gorge

Follow the deep, winding path of this major Yangtze tributary as it carves through the Guizhou plateau.

🌳

Dinghu Mountain

A vibrant green biosphere reserve near Zhaoqing that stands out against the surrounding urban development.

🌉

Xijiang River Network

The massive, meandering waterways of the Pearl River system as they broaden toward the South China Sea.

🏭

Pearl River Delta Hub

Intricate views of the Foshan and Nanhai industrial landscapes during the low-altitude descent phase.

The right side is exceptional for afternoon flights, as the setting sun casts long shadows that emphasize the texture of the Karst hills. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic mountain scenery.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Chishui Danxia Landform

Stunning red rock cliffs and lush green forests marking the border between Sichuan and Guizhou provinces.

🏙️

Zunyi City Views

A bird's-eye view of this historic urban center nestled within the rugged northern Guizhou hills.

🏔️

Nanling Mountain Range

The dramatic ridge lines and peaks that form the natural geographic divide between central and southern China.

🌆

Northern Guangzhou Urbanism

The dense sprawl of high-rises and interconnected highways as the aircraft approaches Baiyun District.

Book the left side for morning departures to avoid direct southern sun glare. This side provides the clearest views of the Nanling mountain ridges and the urban landscape of northern Guangzhou during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
