YBP → SZX
Which side of the plane to sit from Yibin Caiba Airport (Yibin) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic karst mountain formations of the Guizhou plateau and the scenic coastal approach into the Pearl River Delta.
Guizhou Karst Peaks
The iconic 'Stone Forest' appearance of limestone mountains through the clouds.
Beipan River Canyons
Deep river incisions through the plateau, home to some of the world's highest bridges.
Pearl River Estuary
The massive water opening where the Pearl River meets the South China Sea.
Shenzhen Bay Skyline
Clear views of the Nanshan district skyscrapers and the Spring Cocoon stadium during final approach.
Bao'an Coastal Views
Heavy maritime traffic and the expansive bridge infrastructure connecting Shenzhen and Zhongshan.
The right side is essential for viewing the karst topography in mid-flight. During the landing phase at SZX, planes typically approach from the north or over the water; the right side offers the best views of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge and the coastal airport infrastructure.
Yangtze River Confluence
Aerial view of where the Min and Jinsha rivers merge in Yibin to form the Yangtze.
Wuling Mountain Range
Rugged terrain and deep green valleys spanning the border of Guizhou and Hunan.
Guangzhou Northern Outskirts
Dense urban clusters and the sprawling infrastructure of northern Guangdong province.
Dongguan Industrial Landscape
A massive grid of factories and logistics centers that define the world's manufacturing hub.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is better for seeing the sheer scale of the Pearl River Delta's urban expansion as you descend toward Shenzhen.
