Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Wujiang River valleys and a more direct perspective of the Yangtze River's approach into the mountainous Chongqing municipality.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
💧

Wujiang River Gorges

Deep emerald river cutting through dramatic limestone canyons as the flight traverses northern Guizhou.

🚢

Yangtze River Confluence

Witness the massive scale of the Yangtze as it nears the Chongqing urban sprawl and merges with regional tributaries.

🏙️

Chongqing Skyline

Densely packed skyscrapers and numerous bridges of the 'Mountain City' during the final descent phase.

🏗️

Infrastructure Marvels

Spot high-altitude bridges and expressways winding through the treacherous mountain terrain of the Sichuan Basin edge.

The right side is ideal for capturing the winding path of the Wujiang River. If the flight lands from the south into CKG, you'll have a stunning view of the dense urban architecture and numerous river crossings. Dusk flights are particularly beautiful as the city lights begin to shimmer across the Yangtze.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Anshun Karst Formations

View the unique limestone 'sugarloaf' peaks that dominate the Guizhou landscape immediately after takeoff.

🏘️

Zunyi Cityscape

Aerial view of the historic city known for its revolutionary significance, nestled among rolling northern Guizhou hills.

🌄

Dalou Mountains

Rugged mountain ranges marking the natural border between the Guizhou plateau and the Sichuan Basin.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out early for the distinct 'bamboo shoot' hills typical of the Guizhou landscape. On a clear day, the contrast between the green peaks and red soil is striking.
