Which side of the plane to sit from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing) to Zhanjiang Airport (Zhanjiang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the spectacular karst topography of Guizhou and Guangxi, featuring iconic conical limestone hills and deep river canyons.
Dalou Mountains
Rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys immediately south of the Chongqing municipality.
Guizhou Karst Forest
A mesmerizing endless field of 'stone forests' and thousands of small conical peaks typical of the region.
Beipan River Canyons
Dramatic vertical drops and deep river incisions visible through the clouds in the Guizhou plateau.
Guangxi Peak Forest
The world-famous limestone landscape that resembles the scenery of Guilin and Yangshuo.
Red Soil Plateaus
The striking rusty-red earth of the Leizhou Peninsula contrasting with green agricultural fields during descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid glare. It provides the best perspective of the unique 'Peak Forest' karst landforms which are the highlight of this route. Keep a sharp eye out for the incredibly high bridges crossing Guizhou's deep canyons; they look like thin threads from 30,000 feet.
Chongqing Mega-City
Bird's-eye view of the dense urban skyscrapers and the massive bridges spanning the Yangtze River.
Wuling Mountain Range
Lush, forested ridges that define the border between the Sichuan Basin and the central highlands.
Zhanjiang Bay
A view of the busy shipping lanes, the Zhanjiang Bay Bridge, and the naval port facilities on approach.
Donghai Island
Large industrial and natural island landscapes visible just before landing in the coastal region.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is superior for viewing the urban density of Chongqing upon departure and the harbor infrastructure of Zhanjiang during the final descent. Look for the distinct turquoise waters of the South China Sea as you reach the coast.
