BFJ → KMG
Which side of the plane to sit from Bijie Feixiong Airport (Bijie) to Kunming Changshui International Airport (Kunming)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the rugged Wumeng Mountains and provides the best panoramic views of the Kunming skyline and Dianchi Lake during the approach.
Wumeng Mountains
Dramatic views of high-altitude peaks and deep gorges that define the border between Guizhou and Yunnan.
Kunming Urban Sprawl
A comprehensive view of the 'Spring City' as the aircraft aligns with the runway at Changshui.
Dianchi Lake
The vast, shimmering expanse of Yunnan's largest freshwater lake visible on the southern horizon.
West Hills (Xi Shan)
The famous 'Sleeping Beauty' mountain silhouette can be spotted standing guard over the city.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to minimize sun glare while capturing the city. On clear days, look far to the west during the cruise to potentially spot the higher ranges of the Hengduan Mountains.
Karst Topography
Observation of the unique cone-shaped limestone formations characteristic of the Guizhou plateau region.
Terraced Agriculture
Intricate patterns of high-altitude farming carved into the undulating hillsides between BFJ and the border.
Songhuaba Reservoir
A sprawling blue landmark nestled in the hills just north of Kunming, visible during the descent.
Choose the left side for soft, front-lit views of the karst landscape during morning flights. It is particularly scenic in spring when the rapeseed flowers add splashes of yellow to the valleys below.
