Wanfenglin Karst
The 'Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks' near Xingyi presents a breathtaking expanse of thousands of limestone cones.
Nanpan River Canyons
Watch the winding river carve deep, dramatic turquoise paths through the dark mountain terrain.
Highland Terraces
Intricate agricultural patterns carved into the hillsides of southern Guizhou and northern Guangxi.
Guilin Limestone Towers
World-famous karst peak formations become visible in dense clusters as the plane descends into Liangjiang Airport.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to see the vastness of the Wanfenglin karst area. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the right side; during late afternoon, be prepared for significant sun glare, though the shadows on the karst peaks can be stunning.

Wumeng Mountain Range
Glimpse the rugged eastern fringes of the Yunnan plateau with its deep valleys and sharp ridges.
Qujing Urban Basin
A clear view of Yunnan's industrial and agricultural heartland nestled between mountain ranges.
Guizhou Plateau Mists
Dramatic cloud formations often settle in the deep limestone basins of the Guizhou province borders.
Sit on the left for softer, indirect lighting that is perfect for capturing the textures of the mountain ridges without sun glare. This side is particularly scenic during the first half of the flight while still at cruising altitude over the Yunnan-Guizhou border.
