Guizhou Karst Forest
Spectacular views of conical limestone peaks and deep green valleys immediately after departure from Anshun.
Duyun Mountain Ranges
Look down upon the rugged, forested terrain of southeastern Guizhou, characterized by sharp ridges and hidden ethnic villages.
Hezhou Karst Clusters
As the plane enters Guangxi, witness the unique cluster-peak depressions typical of this world-renowned landscape.
Huadu District
Final approach views of the dense urban planning and logistics hubs north of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is particularly scenic during the first 30 minutes of the flight when the Karst topography is most dense. Look for the silver ribbons of the high-speed rail lines cutting through the mountains below.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Pearl River Delta. During the descent, watch for the shift from green mountains to the grey-blue grid of the industrial heartland. Keep an eye out for the large reservoirs tucked into the hills near the provincial border.
