Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the iconic Fanjingshan mountain range and the most dramatic karst topography characteristic of northern Guizhou.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Guiyang Skyline

Aerial view of Guizhou's capital city emerging from the surrounding green karst hills shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Weng'an Karst Forest

Dense clusters of limestone peaks forming a unique 'stone forest' landscape stretching to the horizon.

🏔️

Fanjingshan Range

Look north to spot the UNESCO-listed peaks including the famous Red Clouds Golden Summit on clear days.

🌊

Wujiang River Canyons

Spectacular views of the deep, emerald-colored river winding through steep limestone gorges.

Book an 'A' window seat for the most consistent landscape views. For morning flights, this side faces north/west, providing excellent lighting for photography without sun glare. During summer, look for the 'sea of clouds' that often blankets the valleys below the karst peaks.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌉

High-Altitude Bridges

Guizhou is home to the world's highest bridges; look for massive suspension spans crossing deep mountain valleys.

🏘️

Miao Villages

Small clusters of traditional wooden architecture and terraced fields nestled in the valleys between Kaili and Tongren.

🏞️

Wujiang Bends

Aerial perspective of the dramatic horseshoe bends where the river carves through the rugged terrain.

Choose an 'F' seat if you are flying in the late afternoon to enjoy the golden hour glow over the river valleys. Keep an eye out for the distinct terraced farming patterns on the mountain slopes, which are most vibrant during the spring planting season (April-May).
