We Landed at Guangzhou airport as the sun was setting so got these wonderful photos of the sunset over the Observation Tower
Guangzhou is the changeover City for many Air China Flights around China. We went on to Beijing after about 2 hours which was spent mostly lining up for the Passport check and then lining up for a new boarding pass. There were many people and it is a very busy airport.
The plane was almost full of Korean men as it was on its way to Korea.

Located on the Pearl River, about 120 km (75 mi) north-northwest of Hong Kong and north-northeast of Macau, Guangzhou is a key national transportation hub and trading port.
