Which side of the plane to sit from Liping Airport (Liping) to Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the dramatic Karst topography and the Leigongshan mountain range, which features some of the highest and most rugged peaks in Guizhou province.
Leigong Mountain
The highest peak in the Miaoling range, often shrouded in a sea of clouds or mist.
Karst Pinnacle Forests
Endless successions of 'sugar-loaf' limestone hills that define the iconic Guizhou landscape.
Qingshui River Valleys
Deeply incised river meanders with bright turquoise water cutting through the limestone bedrock.
Pili River Bridge
Visuals of massive infrastructure projects, including some of the world's highest bridges crossing deep gorges.
Guiyang City Skyline
A panoramic view of the 'Forest City' with its unique mountain-urban integration during the final descent.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to capture the golden hour light hitting the Karst peaks. Since this is a very short flight (approx. 40-50 minutes), keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff as the most dramatic terrain appears quickly.
Dong Ethnic Villages
Scattered clusters of traditional wooden houses and drum towers characteristic of the Liping region.
Liping Forest Reserves
Dense, lush subtropical evergreen forests that cover the undulating hills immediately after takeoff.
Guiyang-Guangzhou High-Speed Rail
The impressive engineering of the high-speed rail line winding through tunnels and over high bridges.
Guiyang Southern Expansion
Modern urban development and high-rise apartment complexes as you enter the provincial capital's airspace.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the intricate patterns of terraced rice fields nestled in the valleys between the mountains, which are particularly vibrant in late spring and early summer.
