HGH â NNG
Which side of the plane to sit from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou) to Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the 'water towns' of Zhejiang to the world-famous karst limestone formations of Guangxi, including potential glimpses of Qiandao Lake.
Qiandao Lake
Shortly after takeoff, look for the 'Thousand Island Lake' with its distinctive turquoise waters and emerald isles.
Mount Heng
One of China's Five Great Mountains, visible as the flight traverses the central Hunan province.
Xiang River
The iconic river of Hunan, often bustling with river traffic and surrounded by dense urban centers.
Guangxi Karst Landscape
The highlight of the trip: dramatic limestone 'sugarloaf' peaks rising abruptly from the flat plains.
Yong River Bend
The winding river that snakes through Nanning, providing a picturesque guide to the runway.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing window glare. Keep your camera ready 20-30 minutes before landing for the most spectacular karst mountain views as you enter Guangxi airspace.
Qiantang River
Watch the massive winding river during departure, famous for the world's largest tidal bore.
Wuyi Mountains
Aerial perspectives of the misty, lush green peaks that mark the border between Jiangxi and Fujian.
Gan River Valley
Follow the primary waterway of Jiangxi province as it cuts through fertile agricultural plains.
Nanling Mountains
Rugged, forested terrain forming the natural divide between Central and South China.
Nanning Eastern Suburbs
View the rapid urban expansion and green belts of the 'Green City' during the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the soft morning light over the Zhejiang hills, though beware of direct glare. This side provides a clearer view of the vast Gan River basin during the mid-flight phase.
