ZUHKOW

Which side of the plane to sit from Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (Zhuhai) to Ganzhou Airport (Ganzhou)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Pearl River Delta metropolis during takeoff and follows the winding Gan River during the final approach into Ganzhou.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Pearl River Delta Hub

A dense urban tapestry featuring the interconnected cities of Zhuhai, Zhongshan, and distal views of Guangzhou.

🌉

Mega Infrastructure

Clear views of the massive bridges and port facilities spanning the various branches of the Pearl River.

🏞️

North River Valley

The flight path often parallels the Beijiang River, offering views of the fertile agricultural valleys in northern Guangdong.

🌊

Gan Jiang River

The iconic river that defines Ganzhou's geography, visible as the plane descends over the city's eastern sectors.

The right side is ideal for photographers interested in urban landscapes and river systems. For the best visibility of the Gan River confluence in Ganzhou, choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Lingdingyang Bay

Aerial views of the coastal waters and the western edges of the Pearl River estuary immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Nanling Mountain Range

Rugged, mist-covered peaks that mark the natural border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.

🌲

Southern Jiangxi Forests

Dense subtropical greenery and rolling hills that characterize the approach into the Ganzhou basin.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights. Keep an eye out for the transition from the flat delta to the sharp ridges of the Nanling mountains mid-flight.
