Wumeng Mountains
The massive and rugged peaks of the Wumeng range provide a dramatic backdrop throughout the mid-flight.
Yunnan Wind Farms
Hundreds of wind turbines lining the mountain ridges, especially prominent near the border of the two provinces.
Xuanwei Valley
A clear aerial view of the city of Xuanwei situated in a deep valley surrounded by high mountains.
KMG Terminal View
On many approach paths, the right side gets a full view of the distinctive golden-roofed Changshui terminal.
The right side is spectacular during sunset flights as the Wumeng peaks catch the golden hour light. Look for snow-capped peaks in the far distance to the north during the winter months.

Anshun Karst Peaks
Dense clusters of conical limestone hills unique to the Guizhou plateau landscape shortly after takeoff.
