CANJIQ

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the winding Xiang River in Hunan and the dramatic transition into the dense, jagged ridges of the Wuling Mountain range during the descent into Qianjiang.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌇

Northern Guangzhou

Panoramic views of Baiyun District and the expanding skyline of northern Guangzhou during climb.

🌊

Xiang River Valley

The massive waterway of the Xiang River winding through the fertile plains of central Hunan.

🌲

Wulingshan Forests

Lush, high-altitude sub-tropical forests covering the peaks near the Chongqing border.

🏔️

Enshi Cliffs

Distant but striking views of the steep canyons and jagged cliffs bordering the Enshi region.

This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight as the descent into JIQ offers close-up views of the rugged mountain ridges that characterize the Qianjiang area.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Pearl River Delta

Dense urban sprawl of western Guangzhou and Foshan immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

The natural mountainous border between Guangdong and Hunan provinces featuring deep green ridges.

🪨

Karst Topography

Unique limestone tower formations visible as the flight enters the rugged terrain of western Hunan.

🌫️

Wuling Mist

Low-lying clouds often trapped in the deep valleys of the Wuling region creating a mystical atmosphere.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the karst landscape. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the light hits the limestone peaks from the west.
