KWE → HFE
Which side of the plane to sit from Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang) to Hefei Luogang International Airport (Hefei)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Guizhou Karst topography immediately after takeoff and a more direct view of the rugged Dabie Mountain range during the descent into Anhui.

Guizhou Karst Peaks
Spectacular views of thousands of cone-shaped limestone hills surrounding Guiyang right after departure.
Wuling Mountains
View the northern edge of this dramatic range as the flight crosses from Guizhou into western Hubei.
Jingzhou City
Look for the historic city of Jingzhou and its ancient walls located along the northern banks of the Yangtze.
Dabie Mountains
A major mountain range serving as a natural boundary between Hubei, Henan, and Anhui provinces.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Karst mountains. During takeoff from KWE, the unique 'Stone Forest' terrain is most visible on this side. If flying in the late afternoon, the left side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without window glare.

Yuan River Valley
A scenic river system cutting through the hills of western Hunan, often shrouded in morning mist.
Dongting Lake Horizon
On clear days, the vast wetlands of Dongting Lake are visible to the southeast as the plane traverses Hunan.
Yangtze River Meanders
Catch glimpses of the mighty Yangtze River as it winds through the plains of southern Hubei.
Chao Lake
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, located just southeast of Hefei, visible during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct western sun. Look out for the massive industrial clusters around Wuhan as you transition from Hubei to Anhui. During the descent into Hefei, the right side usually provides a better view of the city center and the expansive Chao Lake.
