Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers the most dramatic views of the karst limestone peak forests during departure and a stunning aerial perspective of the Gulf of Tonkin and Lianzhou Bay on the final approach to Beihai.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Karst Peak Forests

Denser clusters of limestone mountains extending westward toward the horizon.

🌊

Gulf of Tonkin

The vast, shimmering blue of the South China Sea as the aircraft reaches the southern coast.

🛶

Lianzhou Bay

Intricate coastal inlets, fishing boats, and extensive aquaculture farms near Beihai.

🏖️

Silver Beach

Beihai's famous long stretch of white sand visible during the descent and landing pattern.

Highly recommended for afternoon flights to witness a spectacular sunset over the Gulf of Tonkin. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for the most dense mountain formations, and again 10 minutes before landing for the coastal scenery.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Guilin Karst Skyline

The unique limestone pinnacles and towers surrounding Guilin immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Liuzhou Panorama

Distant views of the winding Liu River and the industrial skyline of Liuzhou city.

🛤️

Guangxi High-Speed Rail

The modern railway infrastructure cutting through the rugged mountain terrain below.

🌾

Hepu Agricultural Plains

Lush green farmlands and ancient pearl-producing areas as the terrain flattens toward the coast.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to see the karst peaks illuminated by the morning sun without direct glare. Look for the silver threads of the Li River winding through the mountains shortly after takeoff.
