Which side of the plane to sit from Beihai Airport (Beihai) to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a spectacular vantage point for the dramatic urban geography of Chongqing and the winding Yangtze River as the flight approaches the destination.
Beihai Urban Sprawl
A clear view of the city's development and its relationship with the surrounding water.
Nanliu River Delta
The complex network of waterways where the river meets the sea near Hepu.
Wuling Mountains
Dense, jagged mountain ranges that define the southern approach into the Sichuan Basin.
Yangtze River Bend
The massive Yangtze River snaking through deep mountain valleys as you descend.
Chongqing Skyline
A breathtaking view of the dense skyscrapers and numerous bridges spanning the Jialing and Yangtze rivers.
Morning flights offer the best lighting for the mountain ranges. The final 15 minutes of the flight are crucial; the right side usually provides the best view of the Raffles City complex and the confluence of the two rivers if the plane approaches from the south. Sit away from the wing to ensure the steep river valleys are visible.
Silver Beach Coastline
Striking views of the white sands of Beihai and the Gulf of Tonkin shortly after takeoff.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
The iconic limestone pillars and conical hills characteristic of the southern Chinese landscape.
Rural Terraces
Intricate agricultural patterns carved into the hillsides of the Guangxi and Guizhou border regions.
Guizhou Highlands
Rugged mountain terrain often shrouded in a sea of clouds, creating a mystical atmosphere.
Opt for an afternoon flight to avoid direct sunlight on this side. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff to capture the unique karst topography of Guangxi. In winter, look for snow-capped ridges as you enter the northern Guizhou province.
