Gaoligong Mountains
Dramatic rugged ridges and deep valleys immediately visible after takeoff from Mangshi.
Lancang (Mekong) River
Deep river canyons cutting through the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau as the flight progresses eastward.
Guizhou Karst Topography
Thousands of conical limestone hills that look like a massive 'forest' of stone from above.
Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau
High-altitude rolling terrain often shrouded in scenic sea-of-clouds formations.
Northern Pearl River Delta
The dense urban sprawl of northern Guangdong and the Bei River before landing.
Fly in the morning to have the sun at your back, providing perfect lighting for the mountains. Watch for the 'Three Parallel Rivers' region shortly after departure; the vertical relief is world-class. Clear weather is crucial as Guizhou is frequently cloudy.
