Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the majestic Mount Heng in Hunan and the iconic, jagged karst mountain landscapes that define the Guangxi region as you approach Nanning.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
⛰️

Mount Heng (Hengshan)

One of the Five Sacred Mountains of China, featuring impressive peaks and ancient temple clusters visible from high altitude.

🌊

Xiang River Valley

The winding path of the Xiang River as it flows through the industrial and scenic corridors of Hunan.

🪨

Guilin Karst Fringe

The transition into breathtaking limestone towers and pillars as the flight enters northern Guangxi.

🏞️

Liuzhou Basin

A unique landscape where sharp mountain peaks rise abruptly from the flat basin floor around the city of Liuzhou.

🏙️

Nanning Green City

A comprehensive view of Nanning's lush city center and the Yong River during the final approach.

This is the 'scenic side' for karst photography. Look out approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight for Mount Heng. During morning flights, the lighting on the karst peaks is particularly dramatic. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the sharp mountain peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Nanchang Cityscape

Immediate views of Nanchang's urban sprawl and the prominent Gan River shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Luoxiao Mountains

The rugged, forested ridges of the Jiangxi-Hunan border region stretching toward the horizon.

🌾

Hunan Rice Paddies

Intricate patterns of agricultural terracing and small villages characteristic of central China.

🌲

Guangxi Greenery

Densely forested hills as the plane enters the subtropical climate zone of southern China.

Choose this side for better views of Nanchang's architecture during departure. For afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, offering clearer visibility and easier photography without glare.
