Which side of the plane to sit from Liuzhou Bailian Airport (Liuzhou) to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the Wujiang river canyons and the iconic 'Mountain City' skyline of Chongqing as the aircraft maneuvers for approach at Jiangbei International.
Wujiang River Canyons
Breathtaking views of the emerald-colored Wujiang River as it carves through deep limestone gorges.
Dalou Mountain Range
Dramatic ridgelines that mark the geographical transition from the Guizhou plateau into the Sichuan Basin.
Chongqing Urban Sprawl
Massive clusters of skyscrapers and dense residential towers built directly into the steep hillsides.
River Confluence
On many approach patterns, you can see where the Jialing River meets the mighty Yangtze in the heart of the city.
Try to book a morning flight to get the best lighting on the river canyons. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of flight, as the descent over Chongqing's bridges and rivers is world-class.
Northern Guangxi Karst
Unique limestone tower formations and rolling green hills immediately after takeoff from Liuzhou.
Guizhou Cloud Seas
Frequent low-lying clouds trapped in the deep valleys of the Guizhou plateau, creating a 'sea of clouds' effect.
High-Speed Rail Bridges
Spot some of the world's highest bridges and complex railway tunnels cutting through the rugged southern terrain.
Sit toward the front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights on this side are preferable to avoid the harsh morning sun reflecting off the Guizhou mist.
