Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Jinfo Mountain massif and the deep, winding canyons of the Wu River system as you transition from the Sichuan Basin into the Guizhou Plateau.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Jinfo Mountain

A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring dramatic limestone cliffs and a massive flat-topped plateau rising sharply from the terrain.

🌊

Wu River Canyons

Aerial perspectives of the deep green waters of the Wu River as it carves through the rugged Dalou Mountains.

🏙️

Nanchuan Skyline

View the rapid urban development of Nanchuan nestled at the foot of the massive mountain ranges.

🌲

Wuling Mountain Range

Densely forested ridges and deep valleys that characterize the border region between Chongqing and Guizhou.

Book an early morning flight to see the sunrise illuminate the eastern cliffs of Jinfo Mountain. Because this is a very short flight, landmarks appear quickly; keep your eyes peeled about 15 minutes after takeoff from CKG. This side is also less likely to have direct sun glare during afternoon flights heading south-southwest.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Chongqing Metropolis

Spectacular views of the sprawling 'Mountain City' and its unique vertical urbanism during the initial climb.

🛣️

Mountain Engineering

Look down at the complex network of bridges and tunnels of the G75 Expressway winding through the karst peaks.

🌄

Guizhou Karst Peaks

The iconic 'forest of hills' topography unique to the Guizhou Plateau becomes visible during the descent into Bijie.

🚜

Terraced Agriculture

Intricate patterns of terraced farming carved into the steep slopes of the Qijiang River basin.

The right side is excellent for sunset views on late afternoon flights. Watch for the dramatic change in topography from the relatively flat Sichuan Basin to the jagged karst landscape of Bijie. Since this region is often cloudy, look for 'sea of clouds' effects where mountain peaks poke through the mist like islands.
