Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular departure view of Chongqing's dense urban peninsula and a superior vantage point for the Gulf of Tonkin and coastal features upon arrival in Beihai.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Chongqing Cityscape

Unrivaled views of the Yuzhong Peninsula, the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers, and the city's famous bridges.

🌄

Dalou Mountains

Dramatic cliffs and deep limestone gorges as the aircraft crosses from Chongqing into Guizhou.

🌾

Terraced Valleys

Intricate agricultural terracing on the slopes of the Guizhou highlands, especially vibrant in spring and summer.

🏝️

Gulf of Tonkin

The vast expanse of the Beibu Gulf and potential sightings of Weizhou Island in the distance.

🏖️

Beihai Silver Beach

The long, white sandy arc of the coastline visible as the plane banks for its final approach into BHY.

The right side is the 'scenic winner' for urban photography during departure. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some glare as you head south. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight; if the pilot approaches from the south, you will get a perfect view of the Beihai peninsula and the sparkling sea.

7.2
🏙️

Chongqing Northern Districts

View the massive urban expansion of Jiangbei and Yubei districts immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Wuling Mountain Range

The rugged, forested peaks of the eastern edge of the Guizhou Plateau.

🎋

Guangxi Karst Formations

Iconic 'sugar-loaf' limestone hills emerging as the flight enters northern Guangxi province.

🌊

Lianzhou Bay

The intricate coastline and aquaculture farms northeast of Beihai city during descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is excellent for spotting the dramatic transition from the high Guizhou mountains to the flatter Guangxi basin. Look for the silver threads of the Hongshui River winding through the valleys mid-flight.
