KWE → HGH
Which side of the plane to sit from Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang) to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is slightly favored for its spectacular view of the 'Thousand Island Lake' (Qiandao Lake) during the descent and the rolling tea plantations surrounding Hangzhou.

Leigong Mountain
Dense evergreen forests and ethnic Miao villages tucked into the southeastern Guizhou ridges.
Jinggang Mountains
Dense, misty mountain ranges known for their historical significance and lush subtropical vegetation.
Qiandao Lake
The highlight of the trip; thousands of small emerald islands scattered across a turquoise reservoir during the descent.
Longjing Tea Hills
The verdant, terraced hillsides of the famous West Lake Dragon Well tea region visible just before landing.
The right side provides the best angle for Qiandao Lake about 20 minutes before landing. For the best photography, an afternoon flight offers the warmest light on the Zhejiang hills, though glare can be an issue in the mid-morning.

Dramatic limestone peaks and deep river valleys shortly after takeoff from Guiyang.
Changsha Skyline
A distant view of the sprawling capital of Hunan province and the Xiang River.
Poyang Lake
The northern edge of China's largest freshwater lake, visible as a vast silver expanse in clear weather.
Huangshan Mountains
The iconic granite peaks of the Yellow Mountains can often be spotted to the north during the mid-flight segment.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for spotting the distant silhouette of the Anhui mountain ranges. Look out for the industrial clusters of the Yangtze River Delta as you near the destination.
