Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more scenic perspective of the Xiang River valley and the rugged heart of the Nanling Mountains, providing a clear view of the transition from coastal plains to the mountainous interior.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Zhuhai Coastline

Immediately after takeoff, witness the intricate coastline and the artificial islands of the Pearl River Delta.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

View the dense, green-covered peaks that form the natural boundary between Guangdong and Hunan provinces.

🌊

Xiang River

As the flight nears Changsha, the silver ribbon of the Xiang River becomes a dominant feature in the landscape.

🏙️

Yuelu Mountain

On the final approach, look for the famous Yuelu Mountain standing on the western bank of the river.

Book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Hunan landscape. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best river views. In winter, you might see snow on the higher Nanling peaks.

Right Side Highlights
7.0
🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

Depending on the departure runway, you may catch a glimpse of this engineering marvel stretching across the sea.

🏭

Pearl River Hub

Aerial views of the massive urban sprawl and industrial centers of Foshan and Guangzhou's northern outskirts.

🍂

Shaoguan Danxia

Look for the distinctive reddish rock formations of the Danxia landforms in northern Guangdong.

🛶

Liuyang River

The scenic bends of the Liuyang River are visible as the aircraft maneuvers for its final landing sequence at CSX.

Morning flights are ideal for the right side to avoid direct glare. The urban density of the Pearl River Delta is most impressive when the air is clear after a rainstorm. Watch for the change in soil color from coastal grey to inland red.
