Which side of the plane to sit from Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin) to Baise Youjiang Airport (Baise)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the transitioning terrain from Guilin's iconic karst peaks to the deep river valleys and the winding Youjiang River as you approach Baise.
Western Highlands
The rugged mountains of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau transition visible to the northwest.
Youjiang River Meanders
The emerald-green river winding through the valley like a silk ribbon on approach to AEB.
Chengbi Lake Reservoir
A massive, deep blue water body located just north of Baise, often visible during descent.
Baise Mango Orchards
Vast green plantations covering the hillsides, for which the Baise region is famous.
Baise Urban Basin
The city center appearing within the river valley as the aircraft aligns for the final landing path.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, illuminating the river valley below. Look for the sharp contrast between the jagged limestone peaks and the flat river basins. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, the river views are exceptionally scenic.
Southern Guilin Karst
Dramatic limestone towers and 'gumdrop' hills visible shortly after departure from KWL.
Guangxi Farmland
A mosaic of rice paddies and agricultural plots nestled between the limestone formations.
Karst Valley Mist
Atmospheric low-lying clouds often trapped between peaks, especially during morning flights.
Laibin Distant View
The urban sprawl of central Guangxi cities visible on the horizon during mid-flight.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side offers a softer perspective of the limestone plains. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the plane climbs over the southern karst clusters.
