Northern Thai Highlands
Lush mountain ridges stretching across the horizon north of the Central Plains.
Mekong River Bend
Aerial views of the mighty Mekong carving through the valleys of the Golden Triangle region.
Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau
High-altitude karst landscapes and deep limestone valleys as the flight enters Southern China.
Sichuan Basin Edge
The dramatic drop-off and mist-covered peaks leading into the Chongqing region.
Choose the left side for afternoon departures to witness a spectacular sunset over the Chinese mountains. The terrain changes significantly around the halfway point, so look out for the shift from tropical greens to the grey-blue hues of the high plateaus. Keep your window shade open as you cross the border for the best karst topography.

An expansive view of the dense urban sprawl and the Chao Phraya River immediately after takeoff.

Geometric patterns of rice paddies and the agricultural heartland of Thailand.
Yangtze River Confluence
The massive Yangtze River winding through the industrial landscape as you approach Chongqing.
Chongqing Mountain City

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. During the descent into CKG, keep an eye out for the massive bridges crossing the Yangtze; even in foggy conditions, the scale of the river and infrastructure is impressive from this side.
