Fanjingshan Peaks
The iconic mushroom-shaped rocks and high-altitude temples of the Fanjing Mountain UNESCO site.
Guizhou Karst
The spectacular 'forest of peaks' as you descend into Guiyang, characterized by conical limestone hills.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the limestone peaks of Guizhou. Keep a keen eye out for Fanjingshan's unique summit about 30-40 minutes before landing. In winter, these northern-facing slopes often hold beautiful dustings of snow.
