CANKWE

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the iconic karst landscape transition from Guangxi into the Guizhou plateau, including glimpses of the Xi Jiang river system and traditional ethnic settlements.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Pearl River Delta Edge

Aerial view of the industrial sprawl and winding tributaries surrounding Guangzhou and Foshan.

⛰️

Dinghu Mountain

Lush green canopy and steep ridges of this ancient nature reserve near Zhaoqing.

🏞️

Guangxi Karst Peaks

Signature limestone tower formations that define the border region between Guangdong and Guangxi.

🌊

Xi Jiang River

The massive waterway snaking through deep valleys as the altitude begins to rise.

🛖

Miao & Dong Villages

Clustered traditional wooden architecture nestled in the folds of the Guizhou mountains during descent.

Book a window seat behind the wing to capture the full scale of the karst peaks. This route is best flown in the mid-afternoon when the sun illuminates the western faces of the Guizhou cliffs, making the landscape features pop.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Nanling Mountains

The rugged mountain barrier that historically separated northern and southern Chinese cultures.

🪨

Yingde Limestone

Distinctive jagged rock formations visible in the northern Guangdong corridor.

🌫️

Cloud Seas

High-altitude plateaus often trap thick mist in the valleys, creating a dramatic 'sea of clouds' effect.

🏗️

Mega Bridges

Look for impressive high-altitude infrastructure projects connecting the remote mountain ridges.

🏙️

Guiyang Cityscape

The dense, vertical urban planning of Guiyang appearing suddenly amidst the rugged mountain terrain.

The right side is excellent for viewing the massive Nanling mountain range. In winter, look for frost-covered ridges at higher elevations. Early morning flights on this side can be quite bright, so bring sunglasses if you want to watch the terrain.
