Xishuangbanna Canopy
Incredible views of China's only tropical rainforest and the winding Lancang River immediately after departure.
Guizhou Karst Topography
Thousands of conical limestone hills that look like a traditional Chinese ink wash painting.
Yangtze River Bend
The massive, winding artery of the Yangtze River as it approaches the Chongqing municipality.
Chongqing Megacity
One of the world's densest skylines, visible as you descend over the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers.
Chaotianmen Landmark
The massive Raffles City complex at the tip of the peninsula is often visible during the final approach.
This is the prime side for the 'Mountain City' approach. On clear days, you can see the unique urban density of Chongqing. Book a morning flight for the best lighting on the Guizhou karst mountains, and try to sit ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the river confluence.

Lancang River Canyons
Dramatic views of the upper Mekong River carving through deep mountain valleys shortly after takeoff.
Wumeng Mountain Range
The high-altitude ridges of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau featuring rugged terrain and deep ravines.
Sichuan Basin Edge
Watch the dramatic drop-off as the mountains give way to the low-lying, often misty Sichuan Basin.
Guizhou High-Speed Rail
Visible segments of the world's most complex bridge-and-tunnel railway networks snaking through the mountains.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. It provides better views of the high-altitude plateaus of western Yunnan, but be prepared for high-altitude clouds which can sometimes obscure the ground.
