KWENNG

Which side of the plane to sit from Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang) to Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the high Guizhou Plateau to the famous karst peak forests of Guangxi, particularly spectacular during afternoon flights.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Guizhou Plateau Edge

The dramatic drop-off where the high-altitude plateau meets the basin, featuring deep ravines and sharp cliffs.

🧗

South China Karst Formations

World-class examples of 'Fengcong' and 'Fenglin' karst landforms with thousands of vertical limestone towers.

🌄

Hechi Basin Mountains

Beautifully illuminated peak forests that create dramatic silhouettes, especially during the Golden Hour.

🏙️

Nanning City Approach

A clear view of the 'Green City' skyline and the Yong River as the aircraft descends into Nanning Wuxu.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Guangxi karst peaks. During the descent, watch for the shift from rugged mountains to the lush, flatter Nanning basin. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing (Rows 5-10) to capture the vertical scale of the mountains without engine obstruction.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Guiyang Eastern Suburbs

Aerial view of the rapid urban expansion and infrastructure in the eastern districts of Guiyang immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Dushan Karst Clusters

Densely packed limestone hills that look like a sea of green mounds extending toward the horizon.

🌊

Hongshui River

The emerald waters of the Hongshui River winding through deep limestone valleys in northern Guangxi.

🌳

Maolan Nature Reserve

Vast stretches of untouched subtropical karst forest, one of the most biodiverse regions in Southern China.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to see the morning mist clinging to the karst valleys. This side provides excellent views of the rugged mountain ranges in the Duyun and Dushan areas.
