Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior perspectives of the rugged Guizhou plateau and the dramatic transition into the iconic limestone karst peaks of northern Guangxi.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Sichuan Basin Edge

Watch the flat basin transition into the rugged mountain ranges of southern Sichuan.

🌊

Chishui River Valley

The deep, winding canyons of the 'River of Wine' cutting through the red sandstone of the Danxia landforms.

⛰️

Guizhou Plateau

A vast sea of jagged peaks and deep valleys that characterize the unique Guizhou topography.

🌄

Hechi Karst Peaks

Witness the emergence of the world-famous limestone karst towers as you enter Guangxi.

🐉

Liujiang River Loop

Look for the dramatic U-shaped bend of the Liujiang River that encircles the heart of Liuzhou city.

The right side is essential for sunset flights to see the karst mountains silhouetted against the sky. For the best views of the Liujiang River loop near Liuzhou, try to secure a seat behind the wing. Ensure you are looking out roughly 20 minutes before landing for the most dramatic limestone formations.

Luzhou Region

Aerial view of the Yangtze River convergence near one of China's most famous liquor-producing cities.

⛰️

Guangxi Greenery

Lush, rolling hills and dense forest cover as the plane descends into the northern Guangxi province.

🏙️

Liuzhou Urban Core

A clear view of the industrial and residential spread of Liuzhou on the final approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, offering better clarity for photography of the Sichuan Basin and the urban sprawl of Guiyang. This side is typically smoother for viewing during the descent into Liuzhou's flatter northern approach.
