Which side of the plane to sit from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou) to Beihai Airport (Beihai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for its unparalleled view of the dramatic karst topography in Guangxi, including the iconic limestone peaks and winding rivers near Guilin.
Funiu Mountain Range
The eastern extension of the Qin Mountains featuring rugged terrain and deep valleys.
Zhangjiajie Outskirts
Distant views of the jagged, pillar-like mountain formations characteristic of the Wulingyuan area.
Guilin Karst Peaks
The world-renowned limestone tower karst landscape, appearing like a traditional Chinese ink painting.
Li River Valley
The winding river that carves through the mountains, creating spectacular bends and emerald waters.
Guangxi Rainforests
Lush, sub-tropical greenery covering the hills as the flight progresses further south.
Beihai Peninsula
Low-altitude views of the Silver Beach and the coastal wetlands during the final descent into BHY.
This is the premier side for sunset flights, as the late afternoon sun illuminates the karst peaks of Guangxi with a golden glow. The terrain becomes exceptionally dramatic during the final hour of flight. Ensure your window is clean to capture the high-contrast shadows of the limestone towers.
Zhengzhou Urban Area
Immediate views of the sprawling provincial capital and the Yellow River floodplains.
Dongting Lake
Glimpses of China's second-largest freshwater lake located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Changsha Skyline
Aerial view of the 'Star City' and its modern skyscrapers along the Xiang River.
Luoxiao Mountains
Densely forested mountain ranges forming the natural border between Hunan and Jiangxi provinces.
Gulf of Tonkin
As the plane turns for its final approach, the sparkling waters of the South China Sea emerge.
Choose this side for morning flights to enjoy a bright sunrise over the Yangtze River basin. It offers better views of the vast water networks and lake systems of Central China. During winter, look for the 'sea of clouds' phenomenon over the southern mountains.
