KWE → XUZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang) to Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Yangtze River crossing and the diverse terrain changes from the rugged Guizhou karst peaks to the Dabie Mountains.
Guizhou Karst Topography
Spectacular views of the 'Forest of Peaks' with dramatic limestone formations typical of Southwest China.
Dongting Lake Basin
Vast wetland vistas and the northern edges of China's second-largest freshwater lake.
Yangtze River Bend
A majestic crossing of the Yangtze River, often visible near the Hubei-Anhui border regions.
Dabie Mountain Range
Flying over the rugged, forested ridges that serve as a natural boundary between Hubei, Henan, and Anhui.
Xuzhou Approach
Panoramic views of Xuzhou's industrial landscape and the Yunlong Lake area during the descent.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the Yangtze River. For early morning flights, be aware of sunrise glare; however, the golden hour light on the Dabie Mountains is exceptional. Look out for the transition from the green mountains of the south to the brownish-yellow plains of the north.
Guiyang Cityscape
Aerial view of Guiyang's unique skyline integrated into limestone karst hills immediately after takeoff.
Fanjingshan Distant Peaks
Distant sightings of the UNESCO-listed peaks of the Wuling Mountains to the northwest.
Central China Plains
Vast agricultural mosaics of the Jianghan Plain, showcasing intricate irrigation networks.
Zhengzhou Outskirts
Visuals of the sprawling industrial and residential expansion of Henan province.
Sit on the left for softer afternoon lighting during winter months to avoid direct glare. This side provides a clearer view of the sun setting over the Qinling-Daba mountains in the far distance on evening flights.
