Which side of the plane to sit from Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai) to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the spectacular karst topography of Guizhou and a better angle for the dramatic river valleys approaching Chongqing.
Zhuhai Jinwan Coastline
Aerial view of the Gaolan Port and the sandy beaches of Sanzao Island immediately after takeoff.
Zhaoqing Dinghu Mountain
Green lush peaks of one of China's first nature reserves as you cross into northern Guangdong.
Guizhou Karst Peak Forest
Breathtaking views of thousands of limestone hills and 'gumdrop' mountains characteristic of the Guizhou plateau.
Wujiang River Gorges
The winding turquoise waters of the Wu River carving deep canyons through the rugged southwestern terrain.
Chongqing Nanshan Hills
The densely forested ridges surrounding the southern part of Chongqing municipality as you begin descent.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur. The karst landscape in Guizhou is most vivid during the mid-flight segment. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the mountain shadows. If landing from the south, this side provides an excellent view of the Yangtze and Jialing confluence.
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
The world's longest sea-crossing bridge stretching across the Pearl River Estuary visible during initial climb.
Pearl River Delta Sprawl
The incredible urban density of Foshan and Guangzhou appearing as a continuous sea of skyscrapers.
Nanling National Forest
The mountainous border region between Guangdong and Hunan provinces covered in dense subtropical forest.
Yangtze River Bend
The massive, silt-rich Yangtze River winding through the Fuling district as the plane enters the Sichuan Basin.
CKG Airport Surroundings
Panoramic views of the massive infrastructure and rapid urban expansion in Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area.
Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff for the sea-bridge view. As you approach Chongqing, the right side often provides a clearer view of the Yangtze River's scale and the industrial zones. For early morning flights, the right side may experience significant glare, so a sunset flight is preferred for this side.
