Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the iconic Guangxi karst topography, including limestone peaks and the Xuefeng mountain range, especially during the descent into Nanning.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Xiang River Bend

A great view of the winding Xiang River as the aircraft turns toward the southwest.

🏔️

Xuefeng Mountains

The massive mountain range to the west provides a dramatic backdrop during the mid-flight cruise.

⛰️

Guangxi Karst Peaks

The world-famous 'sugar loaf' limestone mountains start appearing as you enter Guangxi airspace.

🏙️

Nanning Green City

A lush view of Nanning's unique urban forest and the Yong River during the final approach.

The right side is essential for the best karst views during the descent into Nanning. Choose an afternoon flight for the best lighting on the limestone peaks. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the unique geological formations.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Changsha South

Aerial views of the expanding urban districts and the Liuyang River shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Mount Heng

One of the Five Great Mountains of China, visible as a prominent peak system south of Changsha.

🌾

Xiang River Valley

A vast tapestry of rice paddies and traditional agricultural land stretching across southern Hunan.

🌲

Nanling Mountains

Dense forest coverage and rugged ridges marking the provincial border between Hunan and Guangxi.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Watch for Mount Heng about 15-20 minutes after departure. This side provides a better perspective of the high-speed rail lines snaking through the Hunan hills.
