Beihai Silver Beach
A stunning overview of the white sand coastline and the unique peninsula shape of Beihai during the climb.
Guilin Karst Peaks
The world-renowned 'forest of peaks'—thousands of limestone towers visible as the flight passes east of Guilin.
Mount Heng (Nanyue)
One of the five sacred mountains of China, featuring high peaks that rise sharply from the surrounding terrain.
Changsha Skyline
Dense urban skyscrapers and the famous Orange Isle (Juzizhou) visible during the descent into Huanghua Airport.
The right side is the premium choice for sightseeing. For the best experience, try to book a seat ahead of the wing. Look out for the karst formations roughly 30-40 minutes into the flight. Note that while sacred, Mount Heng is often shrouded in mist; clear autumn days offer the best chance to see the temples on its peaks.

Lianzhou Bay
Aerial views of the deep blue waters and the busy port infrastructure of the Beihai region during takeoff.
Guangxi Basin
Extensive views of the lush green rolling hills and intricate rural farming patterns of central Guangxi.
Liuzhou River Bend
The dramatic U-shaped bend of the Liu River as it circles the urban center of Liuzhou city.
Xiang River Meanders
The winding path of the Xiang River snaking through the southern Hunan plains as the flight enters its final phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly scenic during the golden hour of the afternoon when the light highlights the river valleys. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best views of the Xiang River valley.
