KMG β WNZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Kunming Changshui International Airport (Kunming) to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic karst landscapes of Guizhou and the UNESCO-listed Wuyi Mountains, followed by a scenic approach into Wenzhou overlooking the Oujiang River.
Dianchi Lake
A stunning view of the large highland lake south of Kunming shortly after departure.
Guizhou Karst
Spectacular views of the unique limestone formations and deep valleys across Guizhou province.
Mount Heng
One of the Five Great Mountains of China, located in Hunan, visible as a prominent peak to the south.
Wuyi Mountains
The dramatic cliffs and deep gorges of this UNESCO World Heritage site on the Jiangxi-Fujian border.
Wenzhou Urban Reach
A close-up view of Wenzhou's dense urban center and bridges as the plane prepares for landing.
Oujiang River Delta
The final approach follows the path of the Oujiang River as it empties into the East China Sea.
Sit on the right for the most dramatic terrain. Ensure you are awake for the final 30 minutes of the flight to catch the Wuyi Mountains and the spectacular river approach into Wenzhou. Morning flights are preferred on this side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun.
Kunming Cityscape
Aerial view of the 'City of Eternal Spring' and its modern expansion immediately after takeoff.
Lushan National Park
Distant views of the famous misty peaks in northern Jiangxi province.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake, visible as a vast blue expanse to the north of the flight path.
Nanchang City
The urban sprawl of the Jiangxi provincial capital as the flight crosses the Gan River.
Zhejiang Highlands
The rolling green hills and tea plantations typical of western Zhejiang province.
Coastal Archipelagos
Views of the numerous small islands dotting the East China Sea during the final descent.
The left side is best for viewing the vast Poyang Lake during the mid-flight segment. For afternoon flights, this side remains in the shade, reducing window glare for better photography of the northern Jiangxi landscape.
