As the aircraft climbs from one of the world's highest runways, the left side provides an unparalleled view of the 7,556-meter Gongga Shan peak and its massive surrounding glaciers.
The right side offers an extraordinary vantage point of the Gongga Massif, including Mount Gongga, the highest peak in Sichuan, which dominates the skyline shortly after departure from the high-altitude Kangding Airport.
