Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the deep Wujiang River canyons and the dramatic transition into the rugged karst topography typical of the Guizhou plateau.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Chongqing Nan'an District

Aerial views of the dense urban development along the southern banks of the Yangtze River during initial climb.

🌊

Wujiang River Canyons

Deep, winding river valleys with emerald water carving through the limestone mountains of southern Chongqing.

⛰️

Wuling Mountain Range

Rugged, forested peak silhouettes stretching toward the eastern horizon along the Guizhou border.

☁️

Guizhou Karst Peaks

Iconic limestone tower karst formations and sinkholes visible as the flight levels out over the plateau.

Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the mist-covered mountains. This side provides the best angle for the dramatic Wujiang River valley. Look out for the 'sea of clouds' which frequently settles in the karst valleys during autumn and winter mornings.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌉

Yangtze-Jialing Confluence

A glimpse of the Yuzhong Peninsula where the brown Yangtze and green Jialing rivers meet if departing to the south.

🏔️

Dalu Mountains

High-altitude ridges and tectonic folds that form the natural boundary between the Sichuan Basin and Guizhou.

🏘️

Zunyi City Skyline

The urban center of Zunyi is often visible midway through the flight, nestled between steep mountain ridges.

🌳

Guiyang Forest Belt

The extensive 'Green Belt' of forests surrounding Guiyang city becomes prominent during the final approach to KWE.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while observing the mountainous terrain. It offers better views of the western ridges and the historic city of Zunyi. Keep an eye out for the high-speed rail bridges that span the deep valleys below, showcasing impressive engineering.
