KWL → WNZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin) to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Li River scenery upon departure from Guilin, followed by the rugged peaks of the Wuyi Mountains and a coastal approach into Wenzhou that highlights the East China Sea and the Oujiang River estuary.
Li River Serpentine
The winding turquoise waters of the Li River snaking through the Guilin landscape.
Wuyi Mountains
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its deep canyons, dramatic cliffs, and tea plantations.
East China Sea
The blue expanse of the Pacific becomes visible as the plane maneuvers toward the coast.
Wenzhou Archipelago
Numerous small islands and fishing boats scattered near the mouth of the Oujiang River.
Oujiang River Bridges
Massive infrastructure projects connecting Wenzhou's islands and coastal districts.
The right side is ideal for catching the coastal transition. On the descent into WNZ, you will likely see the intricate coastline of Zhejiang. For the best photos of the Li River near Guilin, look out within the first 5-10 minutes of takeoff. If flying in late afternoon, the sunset over the mountains can be spectacular from this side.
Guilin Karst Formations
Unique limestone towers and sinkholes visible immediately after takeoff from KWL.
Nanling Mountain Range
Dense, subtropical evergreen forests covering the border between Guangxi and Hunan.
Ganzhou Urban View
The confluence of the Zhang and Gong rivers forming the Gan River in southern Jiangxi.
Zhejiang Highlands
Rolling hills and mist-covered valleys as the flight enters the coastal province.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the dramatic shift from karst towers to more continuous mountain ridges within the first 20 minutes of flight. High-altitude clouds often gather over these peaks, so check the weather for clear skies.
