Hezhou Karst Formations
Iconic limestone 'sugarloaf' peaks that begin to dominate the landscape as you enter Guangxi province.
Nanling Mountain Range
Distant views of the major mountain chain that separates the Yangtze and Pearl River basins.
Guizhou Plateau Escarpment
The dramatic rise in elevation where the land transforms into high-altitude limestone cliffs.
Maling River Canyon
A stunning deep-cut rift valley with vertical cliffs located very close to the Xingyi approach path.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to get clear, front-lit views of the Karst peaks. During the descent into Xingyi, keep your eyes peeled for the Maling River Canyon, one of the most beautiful 'scars' on the earth's surface.
