Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the massive Pearl River Delta urban sprawl, the iconic Yangtze River crossing near Wuhan, and the vast agricultural expanses of the North China Plain.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Pearl River Delta

Incredible views of the dense urban corridor including Guangzhou and Foshan shortly after takeoff.

🌆

Changsha Cityscape

Potential views of the capital of Hunan, including the sprawling Xiang River waterfront and Orange Isle.

🌊

Yangtze River Crossing

A highlight of the flight as the plane crosses China's longest river, often near the industrial hub of Wuhan.

🚜

Henan Agricultural Plains

Distinctive geometric patterns of wheat and corn fields as you descend toward Zhengzhou.

The right side is ideal for morning flights for the best lighting over the Pearl River Delta. During the descent, watch for the massive bridge infrastructure crossing the Yangtze and the yellow-brown hues of the Yellow River plains as you approach CGO.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Nanling Mountains

Scenic views of the rugged karst peaks and dense forests at the border of Guangdong and Hunan provinces.

💧

Xiang River Basin

The winding path of the Xiang River as it flows through the lush valleys of central Hunan.

🌾

Hubei Wetlands

A patchwork of rice paddies and small lakes typical of the low-lying regions south of the Yangtze.

Sit on the left during afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep an eye out for the dramatic change from the mountainous terrain of northern Guangdong to the flatter basins of Hunan.
