Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic views of the limestone Karst topography as the flight crosses from Hunan into Guangxi, providing a preview of the world-famous Guilin-style scenery.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Hengyang Cityscape

A clear view of the urban sprawl and industrial center located in southern Hunan province.

🏔️

Guilin Karst Peaks

Breathtaking limestone formations that resemble 'stone forests' rising abruptly from the ground.

🗿

Xing'an Landscapes

Rugged mountainous terrain near the historic Lingqu Canal area as you enter Guangxi.

🌉

Liuzhou City Bend

The distinctive horseshoe bend of the Liu River as it wraps around the city center during descent.

This is the prime side for photography. The descent into Liuzhou is particularly scenic; keep your camera ready for the 'camel-hump' mountains. Late afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the Karst peaks, creating long shadows and highlighting the unique topography.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Xiang River Valley

The winding Xiang River flows south to north, visible shortly after departure from Changsha.

⛰️

Mount Heng

One of the Five Sacred Mountains of China (Heng Shan), known for its 72 peaks and dense cloud cover.

🌲

Nanling Mountain Range

A major geographic boundary featuring dense subtropical forests and rugged green ridges.

🌾

Hunan Basin Agriculture

Expansive patchworks of rice paddies and rural villages in the fertile plains of central Hunan.

Look out for Mount Heng roughly 20 minutes after takeoff; it is most impressive during morning flights when the mist settles in the valleys. Avoid mid-afternoon flights on this side to minimize sun glare during the southbound journey.
