Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the iconic Li River valley upon departure and more dramatic views of the Wuyi Mountain range and the coastal terrain near Ningbo.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏞️

Li River Serpentine

Excellent views of the winding Li River as it cuts through the karst landscape south of Guilin.

🏔️

Wuyi Mountains

Direct views of the UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic cliffs and deep green valleys.

🌲

Nanling Mountain Range

Dense forest canopies and rugged ridgelines spanning the border of Guangxi and Hunan.

⛰️

Siming Mountains

The final mountain range before the descent into the Ningbo plains, often shrouded in mist.

🌊

East China Sea Coast

Vistas of the coastline and the numerous islands of the Zhoushan Archipelago during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the mountains. Keep your camera ready during the first 15 minutes for the Guilin landscape and the last 20 minutes for the Ningbo coastal periphery.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Guilin Karst Formation

Bird's-eye view of the unique limestone pinnacles surrounding Guilin during the initial climb.

💧

Poyang Lake Basin

Distant views of China's largest freshwater lake and its surrounding wetlands in Jiangxi province.

🏙️

Jingdezhen Region

Passing north of the historic porcelain capital with views of the rolling hills and urban sprawl.

🌉

Hangzhou Bay Approaches

On a clear day during descent, the northern horizon may reveal the massive infrastructure of Hangzhou Bay.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights. This side is better for spotting the expansive water systems of northern Jiangxi. Afternoon flights may experience more glare as the sun moves south.
