Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the iconic limestone karst peaks of Guangxi and the dramatic, rugged topography of the Guizhou plateau before descending into the Sichuan Basin.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏙️

Pearl River Delta

Stunning aerial views of Guangzhou's urban density and the intricate network of the Pearl River shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Zhaoqing Karst

The beginning of the famous limestone formations, featuring dramatic vertical peaks and hidden valleys.

🌄

Guizhou Plateau

A vast landscape of jagged mountains and deep river canyons that define the high-altitude terrain of Southwest China.

🌾

Sichuan Terraces

As the flight nears Mianyang, look for the intricate patterns of terraced agriculture carved into the rolling green hills.

Book an early morning flight to see the karst mountains shrouded in mist for a mystical atmosphere. Avoid seats over the wing (rows 12-22 on most A320/B737) to ensure an unobstructed view of the canyons below.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Nanling Mountains

Rugged ridges marking the natural boundary between the southern coastal provinces and the central interior.

💧

Wu River Basin

Glimpses of the winding blue waters of the Wu River as it snakes through the mountainous Guizhou landscape.

🏘️

Sichuan Basin Cities

Views of industrial hubs like Nanchong and the sprawling outskirts of Mianyang during the final descent phase.

In winter months, look for snow-capped peaks on the distant northern horizon. The right side typically experiences less direct sun glare during the standard northbound flight path from Guangzhou.
