Which side of the plane to sit from Yantai Laishan Airport (Yantai) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft is superior for this route as it offers breathtaking views of China's major inland water bodies, including Hongze Lake and Poyang Lake, as well as the majestic peaks of the Nanling Mountains. Flying south, the right side also provides a better chance to spot the iconic Yangtze River crossings and the sprawling urban landscape of Guangzhou upon arrival.

Poyang Lake Basin
Spectacular views of China's largest freshwater lake, showing dramatic seasonal water level changes.
Nanling Mountain Range

The right side is the prime spot for viewing major geographic landmarks. On clear days, the transition from the flat plains of the north to the mountainous terrain of the south is distinct. For the best experience, choose a flight departing around noon to ensure the sun is high and shadows highlight the mountain contours.
