Which side of the plane to sit from Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin) to Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the lush southern mountains to the iconic Mount Tai and the sprawling Yellow River near Jinan.
Mao'er Mountain Range
High altitude ridges forming the border between Guangxi and Hunan provinces.
Dabie Mountains
Rugged, forested terrain visible during the mid-flight transition through central China.
Mount Tai (Tai Shan)
The most famous of the Five Great Mountains of China, appearing shortly before descent.
Yellow River Delta Region
The sediment-rich Yellow River winding through the landscape as you approach Jinan.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Tai, which is a major highlight. For the best photography of the mountain, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western slopes. During descent, look for the distinct yellow hue of the Yellow River.
Guilin Karst Formations
Unique limestone peak clusters visible immediately after departure from KWL.
Wuhan Urban Hub
Aerial view of the massive metropolitan area where the Yangtze and Han rivers meet.
Central Plains Tapestry
Vast stretches of the North China Plain's agricultural grids across Henan Province.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is better for spotting the urban density of central Chinese cities like Wuhan and Zhengzhou during the cruise phase.
