Dinghu Mountain Reserve
Look for the lush, protected greenery of the Dinghu Mountain area near Zhaoqing shortly into the flight.
Karst Peak Forests
As you enter Guangxi, the landscape transforms into the iconic 'Forest of Peaks' with thousands of limestone hills.
Dayao Mountains
In the distance to the north, the high peaks of the Dayao mountain range provide a stunning backdrop to the Karst landscape.
Liujiang River Loop
The highlight of the trip is seeing the Liujiang River wrap nearly 360 degrees around the Liuzhou city center during the descent.
The right side is essential for photographers wanting to capture the limestone peaks of Guangxi. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminate the western faces of the Karst mountains. During the approach to Bailian Airport, the right side usually offers the best perspective of the Liuzhou skyline and its unique river geography.

Pearl River Delta Urban Sprawl
Immediately after takeoff, witness the dense urban architecture of Foshan and the western outskirts of Guangzhou.
Xijiang River Meanders
Observe the massive Xijiang River, a major tributary of the Pearl River, winding through the green valleys of western Guangdong.
Yunfu Mountain Ranges
Fly over the rugged terrain of the Yunfu region, characterized by deep green forests and steep ridges.
Guangxi Agricultural Plains
As the plane descends, view the patchwork of rice paddies and rural settlements surrounding Laibin.
Choose the left side for better views of the urban development in the Pearl River Delta shortly after departure. This side is generally better for avoiding direct sunlight glare during morning flights heading westward. Keep an eye out for the vast industrial clusters and river transport networks that define the region's economy.
