Guizhou Karst Plateau
Dense clusters of conical limestone hills immediately visible after takeoff from Guiyang.
Miaoling Range
A major watershed divide in Guizhou featuring rugged ridge lines and deep green valleys.
Duyun Basin
Aerial views of the winding river systems and terraced agriculture surrounding Duyun city.
Northern Guilin Peaks
The dramatic 'forest' of limestone towers that makes Guilin's landscape world-famous.
Book an afternoon flight for the best lighting on the karst formations. On the descent, stay alert for the sudden transition from high plateau to the jagged towers of the Guangxi basin. Keep your camera ready as the flight is very short, often less than 50 minutes of cruise time.
