Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
The glaciated peaks of Shanzidou rise dramatically to the north as the plane climbs out of Lijiang.
Jinsha River Gorges
The upper reaches of the Yangtze River carve deep, winding canyons through the rugged Yunnan terrain.
Guizhou Plateau
High-altitude mountain ridges and deep valleys characteristic of the Yunnan-Guizhou plateau landscape.
Guilin Karst Mountains
A surreal landscape of limestone 'gumdrop' hills that appear as you descend into the Liangjiang area.
Lijiang Ancient Town
A bird's-eye view of the traditional rooftops and tiled architecture of the Old Town shortly after takeoff.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit views of the snow-capped mountains and the karst topography upon arrival in Guilin. Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes for the mountain peaks.

Fuxian Lake
One of China's deepest freshwater lakes, appearing as a deep blue gem nestled between green mountains.
Red Earth Terraces
The vibrant iron-rich soil of the Yunnan highlands creates a patchwork of red and green agricultural fields.
Nanpan River
The headwaters of the Pearl River system snaking through the southern edges of the plateau.
Sea of Clouds
The humid climate often creates thick morning mist trapped between the limestone peaks of Guangxi.
The right side is excellent for viewing the high-altitude lakes of Yunnan. During afternoon flights, be prepared for significant glare as the sun moves south; pull your window shade slightly. Watch for the sudden transition from high mountains to the distinct karst towers as you enter Guangxi province.
