A stunning look at the high-density skyscrapers and the Jialing-Yangtze confluence shortly after takeoff.
Wumeng Mountain Range
High-altitude peaks and deep valleys that characterize the tectonic uplift of the Yunnan plateau.
Dianchi Lake
The 'Sparkling Pearl' of Kunming; a massive crescent-shaped lake visible mid-flight.
Ailao Mountains
Dramatic ridges that act as a climate barrier, often seen with a sea of clouds trapped in the valleys.
Lancang River Bend
The upper Mekong River carving through the tropical landscape during the final descent into Jinghong.
Choose the right side for the best chance to see the Kunming skyline and Dianchi Lake. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the lush green mountains of Xishuangbanna. This side is also best for viewing the sunset if flying in the late afternoon/evening.
