HANNNG

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the historic trade corridors, the Lang Son border region, and a more direct view of the stunning karst topography surrounding Nanning during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏘️

Red River Delta Fringe

The transition from the dense urban sprawl of Hanoi to the fertile agricultural outskirts.

🚩

Lang Son Border Pass

The historic mountainous corridor and gateway that serves as the primary land link to China.

🎋

Zuojiang River Basin

Meandering river systems that carve through the limestone landscape creating dramatic river bends.

🏙️

Nanning City Approach

A panoramic view of Nanning's modern skyline and the Yong River during the final descent phase.

This side is perfect for spotting the dramatic transition from flat delta to jagged karst peaks. For the best photography, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the limestone cliffs from the west, creating deep shadows and vibrant textures.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Northern Vietnam Highlands

Dense, rugged mountain terrain of the Hoang Lien Son foothills extending towards the border.

🌫️

Tam Dao National Park

High-altitude peaks rising sharply from the plains, often draped in atmospheric morning mist.

🪨

Chongzuo Karst Forest

Iconic limestone pillars and 'sugarloaf' mountains that define the landscape of southern China.

Sit in front of the wing to capture the expansive mountain ranges without obstruction. Early morning flights are ideal for seeing the peaks emerging from the low-lying clouds characteristic of this humid region.
