Guizhou Plateau Ridges
Rugged limestone peaks and dramatic elevation changes visible shortly after takeoff from ZYI.
Xijiang River Basin
The winding waterways of the Pearl River's main tributary cutting through the Guangxi border.
Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link
The massive bridge-tunnel infrastructure project spanning the Pearl River Estuary on final approach.
Lingdingyang Bay
The vast expanse where the Pearl River meets the South China Sea, filled with cargo ships.
Bao'an Coastal View
Low-altitude views of the Shenzhen coastline and the airport's unique terminal architecture.
The right side is the 'money side' for the approach into SZX. Try to secure a window seat away from the wing to see the mega-bridges and the estuary islands. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography of the Guizhou mountains.
