Which side of the plane to sit from Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang) to Mianyang Airport (Mianyang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the jagged karst peaks of Guizhou to the expansive Sichuan Basin, with potential views of the high western plateau on clear days.

Guizhou Karst Peaks
Dense clusters of cone-shaped limestone hills immediately after takeoff from Guiyang.
Wumeng Mountain Range
Rugged high-altitude terrain visible to the west forming the edge of the plateau.
The Great Basin Drop
The visible geographical step down from the Guizhou highlands into the flat Sichuan Basin.
Western Basin Terraces
Extensive agricultural patterns and rural settlements typical of western Sichuan.
Western Mianyang
Views of the Science and Technology City's western industrial and residential expansions.
Book an afternoon flight to benefit from the sun illuminating the karst formations from the west. If flying in winter, look for snow-capped peaks in the far distance toward the Tibetan plateau. Avoid seats over the wing (rows 12-20 on most narrow-body jets) to ensure an unobstructed view of the ground elevation changes.

Fujiang River
The main river artery that flows directly through the center of Mianyang.
Mianyang City Center
Excellent views of the urban core, including Fule Mountain and central bridges during descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It provides the best perspective of Mianyang’s urban layout and the Fujiang River during the final approach. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the dense agricultural textures of the Sichuan Basin.
