KWL → NNG
Which side of the plane to sit from Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin) to Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the winding Liu River in Liuzhou and a better angle of Nanning's modern skyline during the final approach, complemented by dense karst formations.

Guilin Karst Forest
Stunning limestone peaks that look like stone bamboo shoots rising directly from the ground upon departure.
Liuzhou River Bend
A clear view of the Liu River as it creates a dramatic S-shaped loop around the city center of Liuzhou.
Guangxi Rural Mosaic
A patchwork of vibrant green rice paddies and sugarcane fields tucked between jagged mountain ranges.
Nanning CBD
The high-rise towers of the Qingxiu district and the iconic Diwang International Fortune Center are visible on approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the long shadows of the karst peaks. This flight is very short (usually under 1 hour), so have your camera ready immediately after takeoff from KWL. Look for the distinctive 'camel' shapes in the mountain ridges near Guilin.

Lingui Mountains
A vast expanse of underdeveloped karst landscape to the west of the flight path shortly after takeoff.
Daming Mountain Range
Distant views of the higher, more rugged peaks that form a natural barrier in central Guangxi.
Yong River Meanders
The winding path of the Yong River as it cuts through the outskirts of Nanning towards the South China Sea.
Sugarcane Plantations
Massive stretches of industrial sugarcane farming that dominate the landscape between the two cities.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the golden hour light reflecting off the Yong River. The terrain on this side is slightly more rugged and less urbanized than the left. Keep an eye out for the small, isolated mountain shrines nestled on top of some limestone hills.
