Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dense urban core of Chongqing during takeoff and offers sweeping views of the iconic karst topography of Guizhou as you head south.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Chongqing Peninsula

Aerial view of the 'Mountain City' with its high-density skyscrapers nestled between the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers.

⛰️

Dalou Mountains

Dramatic limestone ridges marking the transition from the Sichuan Basin to the high plateaus of Guizhou.

💧

Hongfeng Lake

A sprawling reservoir known as the 'Pearl of the Plateau' featuring numerous islands and clear blue water.

🌫️

Guizhou Karst Peaks

Endless clusters of cone-shaped limestone hills that define the unique landscape of Southern China.

🚜

Terraced Plateaus

Intricate agricultural terraces carved into the steep slopes of the Duyun and Qiannan regions.

For morning flights, the left side receives direct sunlight, which is excellent for highlighting the depth of the karst valleys. Watch for the dramatic urban departure from CKG, as the city's verticality is best captured from this side when the plane turns south.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🏞️

Qijiang River Valley

A deep, winding river valley that cuts through the red-bed landforms south of Chongqing.

🎋

Chishui Danxia Border

Distal views of the reddish sandstone cliffs and lush green forests of the Chishui Danxia world heritage site.

🏔️

Wumeng Mountains

The eastern edges of the Wumeng range, showcasing higher elevations and more rugged terrain to the west.

🌫️

Baise Karst Forest

Dense clusters of limestone towers as you descend toward the Youjiang River valley in Guangxi.

🌉

Pingtang Bridge

In the distance, you may spot the massive infrastructure projects that connect the high mountain valleys of this region.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers better views of the more rugged, mountainous terrain on the western edge of the flight path. Keep an eye out for the deep red hues of the Danxia landforms during clear weather.
