Wumeng Mountain Range
Observe the rugged limestone peaks and sharp ridges that form the backbone of the border region between Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.
Niulan River Gorges
Deeply incised river valleys that cut through the high plateau, creating dramatic vertical drops and winding turquoise water paths.
High-Altitude Terraces
Intricate agricultural patterns carved into steep slopes, showcasing the unique 'hanging farms' typical of northern Yunnan.
Plateau Mist
During morning flights, see the characteristic low-hanging clouds trapped within the valleys of the karst landscape.
For the most dramatic views of the gorges, select a seat in front of the wing. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the northern mountain faces. Watch for the sharp contrast between the high plateau and the deep river basins approximately 20 minutes after takeoff.

Red Soil Landscapes

Guizhou Karst Peaks
The transition into Bijie reveals the iconic 'sugarloaf' mountain formations characteristic of the Guizhou limestone topography.
Bijie Cityscape
Views of the expanding urban districts of Qixingguan as the aircraft descends into the mountainous Feixiong Airport.
This side is best for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for the unique architectural view of the Kunming airport. As you approach Bijie, the karst hills are more prominent on this side during the final turn for landing.
