Which side of the plane to sit from Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang) to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic karst peaks of Guizhou, the southern reaches of the Wuyi Mountains, and a spectacular coastal approach into Wenzhou.
Guizhou Karst peaks
Breathtaking views of the unique limestone formations and deep valleys early in the flight.
Mount Heng Range
Look south to see the peaks of Nanyue, one of China's five sacred mountains.
Wuyi Mountains
Crossing over the UNESCO-listed range known for its mist-covered cliffs and tea plantations.
East China Sea
As the plane banks for its final approach, the coastline and scattered islands become visible.
Wenzhou Port
The industrial and maritime activity of one of China's most historic trading ports.
This is the premier side for geography enthusiasts. Ensure you have your camera ready during the first 20 minutes for the Guizhou karst landscape. During the descent into WNZ, the right side typically offers a better view of the city center and the dramatic mountainous backdrop that surrounds Wenzhou.
Guiyang Cityscape
Aerial view of the 'Forest City' urban layout nestled among limestone hills.
Poyang Lake
The northern horizon may reveal China's largest freshwater lake depending on visibility.
Northern Zhejiang Hills
Densely forested undulating terrain typical of the Yangtze River Delta hinterlands.
Oujiang River
The winding 'Mother River' of Wenzhou as the flight descends into the coastal plain.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking towards the Yangtze basin. For morning flights, this side avoids direct sun glare, making it easier to photograph the distant Poyang Lake area and the intricate river systems of Jiangxi.
