Search flights from CAN to YBP
Northern Guangzhou Skyline
Clear views of the northern suburbs and the transition into the rural hills of northern Guangdong.
Guilin-style Topography
Stunning views of the iconic limestone tower hills that make this region world-famous.
Chishui River Valley
The deep, winding valleys of the 'River of Wine' known for its reddish sediment and steep gorges.
First City of the Yangtze
The magnificent confluence where the Jinsha River and Min River meet to officially form the Yangtze River in Yibin.
The right side is the 'money side' for the approach into Yibin. To see the confluence of the rivers, ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing. Morning flights are best to avoid the heavy afternoon haze common in the Sichuan Basin. Look for the distinct color difference between the rivers during the rainy season (May-August).

Dense urban sprawl of Foshan and the industrial heartland of central Guangdong immediately after takeoff.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
A vast expanse of limestone 'forests' and jagged hills characteristic of the South China Karst region.
Guizhou Terraces
High-altitude terraced fields carved into the steep slopes of the Guizhou Plateau.
Sichuan Basin Edge
The dramatic transition from the high Guizhou mountains down into the misty Sichuan Basin.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights as the sun is to the south. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the high-altitude bridge crossings in Guizhou. Be aware that this side often faces more direct sun glare on afternoon flights heading west.
