Which side of the plane to sit from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou) to Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of China's diverse topography, including the rugged mountains of Western Hunan and the iconic karst limestone peaks of Guangxi as you descend into Nanning.
Funiu Mountains
The eastern extension of the Qinling range, featuring rugged peaks and deep valleys in southern Henan.
Shennongjia Wilderness
A glimpse of the high-altitude primeval forests and biodiversity hotspot in western Hubei.
Wulingyuan Peaks
Distant but distinct views of the quartz sandstone pillars of the Zhangjiajie region, weather permitting.
Yuan River Meanders
Dramatic winding river paths cutting through the mountainous terrain of western Hunan.
Guilin Karst Formations
The world-famous 'gumdrop' limestone mountains and the winding Li River as the plane enters Guangxi airspace.
Nanning Green City
The lush, subtropical landscape of Nanning, characterized by dense greenery and the Yong River during final approach.
The right side is the clear winner for scenery lovers. Book an afternoon flight for the best lighting on the karst peaks of Guangxi. During the summer monsoon season, look for massive cumulus cloud formations over the mountains. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes before landing for the most dramatic mountain vistas.
Zhengzhou Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the massive transportation hub and urban layout of the Henan provincial capital shortly after takeoff.
Yangtze River Crossing
The middle reaches of the Yangtze River, often visible with heavy river traffic and large bridges connecting Hubei province.
Dongting Lake Basin
Vast wetlands and agricultural fields surrounding China's second-largest freshwater lake in the distance.
Mount Heng Range
Distant views of the Nanyue Hengshan, one of the Five Great Mountains of China, known for its religious significance.
Liuzhou Industrial Landscape
Views of the industrial hub of Guangxi, where the winding Liu River curves through the city center.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the Central China plains. This side offers better views of the major river systems and the eastern fringes of the Nanling Mountains. Keep an eye out for the glittering reflection of the Yangtze River during midday flights.
